Magna Carta: A Commentary on the Great Charter of King John
Papal legate sent to oppose Prince Louis's invasion and to support King John, later excommunicating Louis and placing London under interdict.
Gualo, now in England, on 28th May excommunicated Louis by name, and laid London under interdict.
Gualo was dispatched from Rome to Philip, King of France, forbidding his son’s invasion, and asking protection and assistance for John.
Did the legate Gualo refuse to trust the English prelates with authority?
