is their due.

All forests which have been created in our time shall forthwith be
disafforested. {So shall it be done with regard to river banks
which have been enclosed by fences in our time.}

{All evil customs concerning forests and warrens [livestock
grounds in forests], foresters and warreners, sheriffs and their
officers, or riverbanks and their conservators shall be
immediately investigated in each county by twelve sworn knights of
such county, who are chosen by honest men of that county, and
shall within forty days after this inquest be completely and
irrevocably abolished, provided always that the matter has first
been brought to our knowledge, or that of our justiciars, if we
are not in England.}

{We will immediately return all hostages and charters delivered to
us by Englishmen as security for the peace or for the performance
of loyal service.}

Guy de Cigogne, Geoffrey de Martigny and his brothers, Philip Mark
and his brothers, and Geoffrey his nephew, and all their
followers.}

{As soon as peace is restored, we will banish from our realm all
foreign knights, crossbowmen, sergeants, and mercenaries, who have

remain in our hands or are held by others under our warranty, we
shall have respite during the term commonly allowed to the
Crusaders, excepting those cases in which a plea was begun or
inquest made on our order before we took the cross; when, however,
we return from our pilgrimage, or if perhaps we do not undertake
it, we will at once do full justice in these matters.}
