They also made oath that, if the earl's daughter, or, which God forbid, the king's son, should chance to die before a marriage should have taken place between them, then the earl should repay to the king the whole of the money, or act according to the king's will and pleasure relative thereto, or pay it over to him to whom the king should assign the same ; and that they, the parties making the said oath, would, if the king should so wish, and at such time as he should so wish, surrender themselves as hostages in his realm and into his power until such time as the same should be paid.
