The other moiety was to be at the discretion of Walter, archbishop of Eouen, Manser, bishop of Langres, the Master of the house of the knights Templars, the Master of the Hospital, Hugh, duke of Burgundy, Baoul de Coucy,- Drogo de Merlou, Bobert de Sabul, Andrew de Chauvigny, and Gilbert de Wascuil ; who were to employ the said money towards the relief of the land of Jerusalem, as they should think necessary.
