"Our Legal Heritage : 600-1776 King Aehelbert - King George III"

}
{If we have disseised or deprived the Welsh of lands, liberties,
or other things, without legal judgment of their peers, in England
or Wales, they shall immediately be restored to them, and if a
disagreement arises thereon, the question shall be determined in
the Marches by judgment of their peers according to the law of
England as to English tenements, the law of Wales as to Welsh
tenements, the law of the Marches as to tenements in the Marches.
The same shall the Welsh do to us and ours.}
{But with regard to all those things of which any Welshman was
disseised or deprived, without legal judgment of his peers, by
King Henry [II] our Father or our Brother King Richard, and which
we hold in our hands or others hold under our warranty, we shall
have respite during the term commonly allowed to the Crusaders,
except as to those matters whereon a suit had arisen or an
inquisition had been taken by our command prior to our taking the
cross. Immediately after our return from our pilgrimage, or if by
chance we do not undertake it, we will do full justice according
to the laws of the Welsh and the aforesaid regions.}
{We will immediately return the son of Llywelyn, all the Welsh
hostages, and the charters which were delivered to us as security
for the peace.}
{With regard to the return of the sisters and hostages of
Alexander, King of the Scots, and of his liberties and rights, we
will do the same as we would with regard to our other barons of
England, unless it appears by the charters which we hold of
William his father, late King of the Scots, that it ought to be
otherwise; this shall be determined by judgment of his peers in
our court.
