The pope proposes to release the sentences against the Flemings during the truce, and begs king Philip to write to him touching the matter by the bearer of this letter, who will be with him in five days, and return in another five.

This proposal was refused, by the king's envoys, as the knight, who is returned, will inform him. Wherefore he prays the king to dispose himself to peace, and to send the ambassadors, whom the pope has been expecting, giving notice of their coming, so that king Philip may send those whom he proposes to meet them. |

To the same. The pope has received his letters by Guy de Briane, knight, his secretary, to which the pope replies that although king Philip urged him to grant him a tenth of benefices in his realm, it was not granted to him for six years, as king Edward has been given to understand, but his petition was suspended until the envoys of both kings met for the treaty of peace, and that then, as a sign of the pope's joy at the result so long awaited, a grant of two years seemed fitting. Wherefore the pope begs king Edward not to be offended if his petition touching the same is not granted, and desires him to believe that, by the pope as mediator, no partiality is shown to king Philip. He has written to king Edward by Master John de Carlton, touching the prolongation of the truce, and prays him to send the said envoy or others with full powers for the same. |
