^{page 384 note ca} Mr. Robert Gladstone, junior, has kindly sent me confirmation of this statement from Villeneuve-Bargemont's, Vicomte deMonumens des Grands Maitres (1829), where we read that lie is called “Garnerius Sirianus” on his funeral monument (vol. i. p. xi. and plate facing p. 47).

^{page 385 note g} The History of the English Hospitallers (1902), already spoken of, accepts his death at that date, and suggests that the Prior of England must have been a brother of his! See p. 185: “Garnier de Neapolis is the first recorded Prior of England. He could not have been the Garnier de Neapolis, afterwards Grand Master, who died of wounds received at the Battle of Tiberias, A.D. 1187 ….

^{page 386 note c} I here give side by side the versions of the passage in question in (1) the Trench poem, (2) the Latin version of it in the Itinerarium Ricardi. It will be observed that the misunderstanding arose throgh a of punctuation (the stop after “Guarniers”)and the rhetorical amplification in the Latin should also be noted. It was similarly, by misunderstanding William of Malmesbury, that Wace (Roman de Rou), as I have shown (Feudal England, 414), evolved from the former's description of the shield-wall at the battle of Hastings the long and confused passage which has been held to describe a “palisade” of some kind.

Ad baæ Magister Hospitalis, regem adiens, ait

^{page 387 note a} This is not quite correct. Dr. Stubbs spoke merely of “The connection of Gamier with the English nation,” i.e. as Prior of England.

^{page 388 note b} Both charters are dated in the Michaelmas chapter in London, and both, as Mr. Gladstone has pointed out to me, are sealed with the seal of Prior Gamier. He had independently arrived at the conclusion that this charter must belong to 1190, in spite of the words “nonagesimo nono” being quite plain, on the ground that Gilbert de Ver had himself become Prior before 1199, in fact, circa 1196-7. My own ground for suspecting the date to be 1190 was that the names of the witnessing brethren are similar to those found in the charters of 1189-1190 (see Appendix of charters). Here are the names of those in Alan's two charters

^{page 388 note c} Mr. Gladstone has collected several passages from the chronicles recording the fact. The bishop, who died about a year later, is usually entered as “Alban” in the lists.
