ABSTRACT
The Treaty between first King Henry of England and Count Robert II of Flanders was concluded at Dover on 10 March 1101 and renewed several times during the twelfth century. In 1101 King Henry was king of England but his brother Duke Robert Curthose was duke of Normandy. If King Henry wishes to have Count Robert's support in Normandy or Maine and if he summons him there the count will go there with 1000 soldiers and shall help him in faith as a friend and from whom he holds a fief. Count Robert shall bear the cost of the shipping for all his own men and in particular for Count Eustace of Boulogne's men and all his other men, for whom he shall pay for the duration of the stay [in the harbour], and for the crossing to and fro.
