_Gillingham_ (Vol. iii., pp. 448. 505.).--As a means of furnishing your
correspondent QUIDAM with some historical and local data that may tend
to identify the place where that memorable council was convened, by
which the succession to the English crown was transferred from the
Danish to the Saxon line, I would refer him to Lambard's _Perambulation
of Kent_, published in 1596, pp. 351, 352, 353., as adducing strong
evidence in favour of the council alluded to having been held at
Gillingham next Chatham.
