" Cott. MS. Faust. A. Vii. This inscription is, with some variations, given by Brompton, Decern Scriptores, col. 1280, and Otterbourne, Chron. Regum Angl. Vol. I. 73, ed. Hearne. D Decern Scriptores, col. 1628.
C 10 Effigy of Richard Cozur de Lion moral developement, withered, as it was described to me, to the semblance of a faded leaf. Richard died on the 6th of April, 1 1 99, and in all proba- bility the token of his undiminished affection was conveyed forthwith to its final resting-place at ...Rouen : yet had it been immediately placed in the choir of the Cathedral, it scarcely could have escaped the rapid conflagration which occurred on April 10th, 1200, when the Cathedral with all its rich contents, books, ornaments, and bells, became a prey to the flames. Perhaps was it owing to the delay necessary in order to fabricate the costly decorations with which the gratitude of the Canons enriched the memorial of their bene- factor, that the heart of Richard did not perish in the general ruin of the church : and not many years elapsing before by the zeal and energy of Arch- bishop Gautier, who presided over the see until his death in 1 207, the fabric had again risen from the ashes, we find direct mention of the sumptuous memorial enriched with gold and silver, as Le Breton describes it, wherein the lion heart had been enshrined.
