My translation of this (Sayers 1957) has the line:

> He'll follow me to Stockenholm, where is my Castle;

as,

"And to my palace at Aix he'll follow after"

Obviously, I'll have no rest until I've tracked down the original. In
any case, this is the 750th anniversary of the Swedish King Birger
Jarl having named, in a written document, the city in which I will be
while missing the NC meeting.
