[Footnote 43: This council seems to have entailed,
first and last, on England, a very considerable
expense. Within a week of the date of the
commission, the Pell Rolls record the payment of
333_l._ 6_s._ 8_d._ (a large sum in those days) "to

King's ambassador to the General Council held at
Constance before our lord the Pope, the Emperor,
and others, there assembled for the salvation of
Christian souls." Payments also to others are
recorded.]

same Cardinal had a personal interview with Henry
in 1418, just before the taking of Rouen.

Le Neve leaves it in doubt whether Bishop Hallam
was buried at Constance, or in Westminster Abbey.
But the Author has been kindly furnished by Sir
Francis Palgrave, who visited Constance last year,
with the following interesting particulars relative
to the resting-place of that excellent man. "The

were sent from England. He is represented at full
length in the episcopal dress, his head lying
between two shields, the royal arms of England
within the Garter, (as Chancellor of the order,)
and his own bearings. But the tomb being placed
exactly in front of the high altar, the attrition
to which it has been exposed in this part of the
church has
