ABSTRACT
And so the cardinal became mediator between the notables of Castellon and the King of France, so that the King admitted them under the security and safe guard of the crown of France, agreeing that they were not bound to him for anything more than they had been bound to the count. And besides, they obtained that all the gates should remain closed, except two, and they would let in no one of the host without a permit. And so he had full ten pennons given to them to put on the gates and on the walls as a token of security. And, again, the King of France granted them the great favour that, if peradventure, he should return without conquering the Kingdom of Aragon, when he had retreated over and beyond the Pass of Panisars, they should no longer be bound to him by any covenant between them. And so the abbots came to Castellon with this agreement.
