I suppose Michaud had some other authority for thescornful words; but I do not find them in Hoveden. Ona double claim Henry might-be called the rightful heir tothe Jerusalem throne, since he had the recent one ofFulk, as well as the preceding election of William ofCornwall. That William’s refusal had never been popularin Christendom was remarked before, and it was hopedthat this King of England would seize such an oppor-tunity of making amends for his ancestor’s lukewarmness,whether mentioned or not. But neither Henry seems tohave been so backward, nor Heraclius so extravagantlyinsolent, as has been pretended.
