Charters and translations - 3 September 1335
3 September 1335 English successors and our kingdoms help forever against everyone with no exception of any status or honoured man in the same way - as they could better - so if we, our sons or our successors conduct a campaign outside of the borders of our kingdoms against our neighbours, or neighbouring enemies, to our request, the king, his sons, and successors of the kingdom of Bohemia with the help of their armed force and bowmen shall help us. But if the borders of our kingdoms are passed by anyone with hostile intention attacking us, our sons and successors and our kingdoms, then our brother, the king, his son and successors of Bohemia ought, to our request, to help us, our sons and their successors personally with all the power of their kingdom, Bohemia, without fraudulence and ruse. Moreover, we promise that refugees, fugitives and convicts in general coming from Bohemia to our kingdom shall not be recruited, any of ours shall not be allowed to recruit and give support to them either. And similarly, our brother, the King of Bohemia, his sons and successors, shall not support or recruit convicts, refugees, or fugitives coming from our kingdoms to Bohemia or to neighbouring territories, but, after the announcement, we, the kings, by our successors and officials, shall expel the convicts. Moreover, if, between us, our sons and successors on one part, and Lord Albert, Lord Otto, Princes of Austria and Styria, or their successors on the other part war or conflict should break out at anytime, we shall make no peace or agreement without the consensus of the King of Bohemia, his sons and successors, according to our oath above, except for that case in which our brother, the King of Bohemia, his sons and successors, with a previously expressed consensus, contribute to it. Similarly, if our aforementioned brother, the King of Bohemia, his sons and successors, from the present or in a future war wish to make an agreement with the Princes of Austria and Styria or their successors, they cannot fulfil it, according to the oath above, without us and our sons, except the case in which we, our sons, or successors have previously contributed to the consensus. Whenever we, the kings, our sons, and successors, or our people, by rendering help or by any other way, come into contact, they shall always be entirely and mutually secure. We promise, s» 87
