chief pontiff, one named Peter of St. Agatha. And to him had
been intrusted the charge of summoning the ecclesiastics of

fast to the aforesaid council. 2

to pass through his kingdom, swore that he would return
through the same, and that he would essay no evil against
his kingdom, England, in his legation.

for Rome, swore touching the sacred Evangels that neither in
going nor in returning would they seek the injury of the king-
and that they would visit the king on their
