90 Lionel's Death and Burial 



This meeting with FiHppo at Fossano was not the first time 

 that Lionel encountered him. While the duke was at Pavia or 

 Milan, we are not certain which, but probably the former,^'^ he 

 had heard Filippo called traitor and felon by the Green Count 

 in the presence of himself and Galeazzo. Amedeo having 

 demanded justice against Filippo, Lionel personally arrested the 

 latter, and cited him to appear before his tribunal on May 30. 

 Here he seems to have pronounced a decision unfavorable to 

 Filippo, who thereupon announced his intention of appealing to 

 the parliament — if so it may be called — which was to be held at 

 Rivoli,^^ and thereupon returned.^- It is somewhat curious that 

 even a purely nominal lord of Clarentza, in Greece, should be 

 cited before the tribunal of a Duke of Clarence, his feudal 

 superior, in Italy, considering that this Duke of Clarence was 

 a royal prince of England. ^^ 



X. LIONEL'S DEATH AND BURIAL 



The date of Lionel's death was certainly Oct. 17,^ 1368, though 

 even the Dictionary of National Biography has it wrong.^ 



^^ Since Lionel would hardly have cited him on May 27, or later, to a 

 tribunal held on May 30. Cron. Saluz. (p. 1013) says that Filippo and 

 his brother went to Milan and Pavia in April, but, as it adds that they 

 made many demands on the one side and the other, and were finally 

 reconciled by Galeazzo, it is possible that they may have remained in 

 those parts till toward the end of May.

'^ The Inquisitio post Mortem (43 Edw. Ill, File 208, No. 23, Public 

 Record Office), dated July 12, 1369, says, under the county of Somerset: 

 'Dicunt [the jurors] quod idem Dux obiit decimo septimo die Octobris, 

 anno regni Regis nunc Anglie quadragesimo secundo' (adding that his 

 daughter Philippa was 13 years old on Aug. 16, 1368) ; under the county 

 of Essex : 'Dicunt quod idem Dux obiit xvii die Octobris ultimo elapsi' 

 (similarly as to Philippa). In the Annals of Ireland {Chartularies of 

 St. Mary's Abbey, Dublin, ed. Gilbert, 2. 397) we read: 'In vigilia Sancti 

 Luce Evangeliste, Dominus Leonellus, Dux Clarencie, obiit apud Albe in 

 Pymond.' Walsingham has (i. 306) : 'circa festum Nativitatis Beatae 

 Marise,' i. e., Sept. 8. Cron. Monf. has Oct. 15.
