Notes
- ^ This name has been found in Latin as Ebalus, Ebolus, Ebulus or Evulus.
- ^ The Latin of Gregory's missive is “omnibus principus in terram Hyspaniae” and “credimus regnum Hyspanie ab antiquo proprii iuris sancti Petri fuisse”. Two letters of Gregory dated the same day survive, one to the Papal legates then in southern France and another to the barons of France wishing to participate in the venture. They can be found in Ephraim Emerton, The Correspondence of Pope Gregory VII: Selected Letters from the Registrum (Columbia, 1990), 4–6.
- Ebles Manzer. Ebles II and Sancho are called cousins in Reilly (1988), 80.
- ^ He did allow Gerald to appoint advisors to his replacement, but the change appears to have been pro-Aragonese and hence anti-Castilian, cf. Bishko (1969), 77–78.
- Ermengol III of Urgelland his first or second wife Clemencia, cf. Bishko (1969), 55 n344.
- ^ tyrannide fortissimo et tumultuosi baronis Ebali Ruciacensis et filii eius Guischardi
- ^ In Suger's words: "punishing the evils inflicted in the past on the churches, and ravaging, burning and pillaging the lands of the tyrant and his associates. It was well done; for the pillagers were pillaged, and the torturers exposed to equal or worse tortures than they had inflicted on others. Such was the ardour of the prince and his army that throughout the whole time they were there they scarcely rested, except on Saturdays and Sundays; they ceaselessly fought with lances or swords, to avenge by harrying the injuries the count had done."
- ^ Suger borrows the phrase "spears menaced spears" from Lucan's Pharsalia, I, 7.
