The last six to whom the above counties were assigned were appointed justices in the king's court, to hear the public claims. In the same year, Geoffrey, earl of Brittany, by command of the king, his father, passed over from England to Brittany, and, assembling an army, laid waste the lands of Guidomer de Leuns, and forced him to surrender. In the same year, Henry, king of England, the son, returned from England to Normandy. In the same year, Louis, king of the Franks sent to Constantinople his daughter Agnes, whom his wife Ala, queen of the Franks, and sister of William, arehbishop of Rheims, and of the counts Henry, Theobald, and Stephen, had borne to him, to be married to Alexis, the son of Manuel, emperor of Constantinople. In the same year, Philip, the son of Louis, king of the Franks, and of the said queen, Ala, fell ill, and was in danger of his life ; at which his father was extremely grieved, and was admonished in his sleep by a Divine revelation to vow that he would go on a pilgrimage to the tomb of Saint Thomas the Martyr, at Canterbury, to prevail upon him to restore his son to health. In consequence of this, Louis, king of the Franks, sent ambassadors to Henry, king of England, the father, and asked for leave and a safe conduct upon coming into England, and also liberty to return without any impediment ; which was granted accordingly. Therefore, putting his trust in the Lord, contrary to the advice of many, he set out for England. Taking with him Philip, earl of Planders, and Baldwin, earl of Guisnes, Henry, duke of Louvaine, count William de Mandeville, the advocate of Bethune, and other barons of the kingdom of France, he came to Witsand, and thence passed over to England, arriving at Dover on the eleventh day before the calends of September, being the fourth day of the week.
