"The letter of Mr. Hanauer, to which Mr. Batten calls attention, gives important information concerning the Crusader in question, collected mainly from the pages of Matthew Parisinformation which is too remarkable to be omitted in any notice of his career; and the reader will be pleased to remember that, in what follows, the page-references apply to W. Wat's edition of Matthew Paris, published by Hodgkinson, London, in 1640.

"In A.D. 1215 Philippus de Albeneio (which is but one of the many old spellings of the name) was selected as one of the Barons to sign Magna Charta at Runnymede (p. 255). After this crisis in his history, John, who is said to have exclaimed in a burst of rage, 'They have given me four-and-twenty over-kings,' lost no time in wreaking his vengeance on those nobles who had extorted his compliance with their demands. With this end, having hired a body of foreign mercenaries, he commenced by besieging the Castle of Rochester, then held by William de Albineto.' Having succeeded in reducing this fortress after an eight weeks' siege, he purposed putting the whole garrison to the sword, but his thirst for blood was satiated by the slaughter of those only of the highest rank, amongst whom were William and Odinevellus de Albineto. During his desolating march Philippus de Albeneto, with others, was compelled to accompany him (p. 274). Belvoir Castle next fell into the tyrant's hands, its castellan being Nicholas, the son of William de Albineto, who delivered up the keys in the vain hope of saving his father's life (p. 275).

"After the death of John in 1216, Philippus de Albineio was present at the coronation of his son, Henry III. (then a child of eight years old), whose training was entrusted to his (Philip's) care during the regency of the Earl of Pembroke. He was likewise present at the relief of Lincoln, and at the decisive battle (called the Fair of Lincoln') in May 1217 (pp. 289, 295, 298). The Earl of Pembroke died in 1219. In 1222 (p. 295) Philip resigned his post of Royal Tutor, and the king was in the year following declared to be of an age to govern for himself (p. 313). Our hero then took his sword and lance, and his trusty Norman shield with its escutcheon of four fusils, and joined one of the expeditions accessory to the fifth Crusade.

"In a letter to his friend and brother-in-arms, Ralph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln (p. 313), he states how, on nearing Damietta, the Crusaders' fleet met many vessels leaving that port in consequence of the disastrous issue of the campaign led by the Pope's legate. On this he returned to Acre, where, according to some historians, he eventually died. During his residence of fourteen years (viz., from 1222 to 1236) in Palestine he seems to have taken an active part in the stirring events of that period, and he lived to see the possession of Bethlehem and Nazareth by the Christians, with free access to Jerusalem and the Holy sites; thus dying just in time for the consummation of his pious desire to be buried on the sacred spot where all that is left of him now lies, as related by Mr. Chisholm Batten.-SOMERSET EDITOR."
