by John Horace Round

Page [372]. Henry's jealousy of the Londoners might also be due, in part, to their steadfast support of Stephen and opposition to his mother. His restriction of clauses (1) and (10) to lands within the walls is illustrated by a citizen having to pay, in 1169 (Rot. Pip. 15 Hen. II., p. 173), "ut placitet contra W. de R. in civitate Lund' de terra de Eggeswera" (Edgware), as a special favour.
