1197, perhaps in this connection.

Howden's assertion that Richard had bought the allegiance of theBretons is supported by a document setting out the terms of the peacewhich is preserved in Le Baud's `Chroniques de VitreÂ'.

73

Richardrestored all of Duchess Constance's lands, pardoned the rebelliousbarons, and allowed them to continue to serve Duchess Constance asthey had previously. He also restored lands and rights outside theauthority of Duchess Constance which individuals had forfeited ormerely claimed to be entitled to. The king was particularly generous tothe Vitre family. All his castles and his lands on both sides of theChannel would be restored to Andrew. His younger brother, Robert, asecular canon, was to receive not only the revenues he had lost, but also`bene®ces' in England to the value of 100 marcs.

74

Their mother,Emma de Dinan, would be restored to seisin of her lands and her dowerlands as she had held them before the war.

75

William de LoheÂac wouldbe granted the land in the barony of Rays to which he was entitled byreason of marriage, which the king had kept in his own hand.

76

Alan deChaÃteaugiron would receive all his rights and lands in England as hisfather had possessed them. Geoffrey Spina would receive the rights towhich he was entitled, on both sides of the Channel, by reason of hismarriage to the heiress of Alan ®tzJordan, the hereditary seneschal ofDol. William de la Guerche and Alan de Acigne were also included inthis peace.

77

The same document records the giving of hostages: Peter,the son and heir of William de LoheÂac, Philip, the brother of Alan deChaÃteaugiron, and Ralph de Montfort, probably the younger brother ofAmaury de Montfort.

78

Some or all of the hostages given in 1196 forConstance's release may also have remained in Richard's custody.

79

As part of the settlement, Duchess Constance promised, on behalf ofthe barons and knights, that they would keep the peace, and that shewould expel from her lands any who wished to break it. DuchessConstance, Herbert bishop of Rennes, Peter bishop of Saint-Malo and

Robert of Thornham all swore to support the king against the baronsand knights. Geoffrey de ChaÃteaubriant swore that the king would keepthis peace. Only after these oaths had been taken and the treaty recordedin a charter under the seal of Herbert, bishop of Rennes, was Constancefreed.

As far as the barons were concerned, the peace restored thestatus quoante bellum, and the Bretons returned to their customary Angevinallegiance. Andrew de Vitre attested a royal charter at Ouilly (12 August
