_Date of a Charter_ (Vol. iv., p. 152.).--I suspect that the charter to
which MR. HAND refers, is one of the time of Henry II., and not of Henry
III. The latter sent no daughter to Sicily; but Joan, the daughter of
the former, was married to William, king of Sicily, in the year 1176, 22
Henry II. In the Great Roll of that year (Rot. 13 b.) are entries of
payments for hangings in the king's chamber on that occasion, and of
fifty marks given to Walter de Constantiis, Archdeacon of Oxford, for
entertaining the Sicilian ambassadors. See Madox's _Exchequer_, i. 367.,
who also in p. 18. refers to Hoveden, P. 2. p. 548. This may perhaps
assist in the discovery of the precise date, which I cannot at present
fix.
