" I, Philip, by the grace of God, king of the Franks, and I, Henry, by the same grace, king of the English, do will that it shall come to the notice of all, both present as well as to come, that we have renewed the treaty and friendship, byword and oath, which my liege lord, Louis, king of the Franks, and I, Henry, concluded between ourselves before Ivery, in presence of Peter, titular of Saint Chrysogonus, cardinal priest and legate of the Apostolic See, and of Bichard, bishop of Winchester, and many other bishops, earls, and barons who were then present ; to the effect, that we now are, and wish henceforth to be, friends, and that each will protect the other in life and limb, and will defend his worldly possessions to the utmost of his ability against all men.

And neither of us shall from henceforth harbour an enemy of the other in his dominions, from the time that demand shall be made of him. And to the end that from henceforth all matter of discord between us may be removed, we do mutually agree that of the lands and possesions, and all other things which we now hold, each shall henceforth make no claim whatever against the other (except the claim as to Auvergne, respecting which there is a dispute

And if we shall not be able to agree as I to the matters which are above excepted, then in such case, I, Philip, king of the Franks, have chosen three bishops, those I of Clarcmont, Nivernois, and Treves, and three barons, count [ Theobald, count Bobcrt, and Peter de Touraine, my uncles ;
