CPR, 1258–66
, pp. 388–9. The king appears to have authorized payments for Eleanor’s Irish dower up until the end of 1263, according to the liberate rolls. See, for example,
CLR, 1260–7
, pp. 77 (February 1262, £200 for Michaelmas term 1261), 89 (May 1262, £200 for Easter term 1262), 111 (October 1262, £200 for Michaelmas term 1262), 125 (November 1263, £200 for Michaelmas 1263). There is, however, no reference to a payment for Easter term 1263 in the liberate roll, probably due to its poor condition.
