8 On the other part, king Henrie the son couenanted to & with the
king his father, that he would performe and confirme all those
gifts, which his father should grant out of his lands, & also all
those gifts of lands which he either had made and assured, or
hereafter should make and assure vnto any of his men for any of
their seruices: [Sidenote: John.] & likewise those gifts which he
had made vnto his sonne John the brother of king Henrie the sonne;
namelie, a thousand pounds in lands by yeare in England of his
demaine and excheats with the appurtenances, and the castell and
countie of Notingham, with the castell of Marlebrough, and the
appurtenances. Also a thousand pounds Aniouin of yearelie reuenues
in Normandie, and two castells there. And in Aniou a thousand
pounds Aniouin, of such lands as belonged to the earle of Aniou,
with one castell in Aniou, and one in Touraine, and another in
Maine.
Thus were the father and sons agréed and made freends, the sonnes
couenanting neuer to withdraw their seruices and bounden dueties from
their father, but to obeie him in all things from that day forward.
Herewith also the peace was renewed betwixt king Henrie and king Lewes,
and for the further confirmation, [Sidenote: A marriage concluded.] a
new aliance was accorded betwixt them, which was, that the ladie Adela
the daughter of king Lewes should be giuen in mariage vnto earle Richard
the sonne of king Henrie, who bicause she was not yet of age able to
marie, she was conueied into England to be vnder the guiding of king
Henrie, till she came to lawfull yeares.
Thus the peace being concluded, king Henrie forgetting all iniuries
passed, [Sidenote: _Wil. Paruus._] brought home his sons in maner
aforesaid, who being well pleased with the agreement, attended their
father into Normandie, where Richard and Geffrey did homage to him,
receiuing their othes of allegiance according to the maner in that case
required. But king Henrie the sonne did no homage, [Sidenote: _R.
Houed._ _Wil. Paruus._ saieth that he did homage also.] for his father
(in respect that he was a king) would not suffer him, and therefore
tooke onelie sureties of him for performance of the couenants on his
part, as was thought expedient.
