Et Edwardo cum uxore et suis in Wasconia dimissis, rex Angliæ cum regina et suis, petita licentia a rege Franciæ et obtenta, venit Parysius; et suscepit eum rex Franciæ in osculum pacis cum gaudio magno, et solemne fecit ei convivium; cui rex Angliæ in crastino reddidit talionem. Et ibi fuerunt simul quatuor sorores; scilicet, regina Angliæ, regina Franciæ, uxor comitis Ricardi, et uxor comitis fratris regis Franciæ.
