By the D ligence of Theobald Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishops of the Kingdom the following Agreement was made between King Stephen and Henry Duke of Normandy at Walingford King Stephen not having an Heir except only Duke Henry did acknowledge in an Assembly of the Bishops and other chief Men of the Kingdom that Duke Henry had the hereditary Right to the Kingdom of England and the Duke kindly granted that King Stephen should during his Life peaceably enjoy his Kingdom The Agreement was so co firmed that the King him elf and the Bishops then present with the rest of the best Men of the Kingdom sware that Duke Henry after the Death of the King if he should outlive him should enjoy the Kingdom without all Contradiction O● which Agreement there was a Charter made which was kept in a most secure place Ibid. n. 20. This is what the Historian hath in both places cited by the Author The whole Charter is in Brompton Brompton col 1037. n. 60. and begins thus Stephanus R●x Angliae Archiepiscopis Episcopis Abbatibus Comitibus Justitiariis Vicecomitibus B●ronibus omnibus fidelibus suis salutem Sciatis quod Ego Rex Stephanus Henricum Ducem Norman●●ae post me Successorem regni Angliae hae edem meum j●re haereditario constitus sic e haeredibus suis regnum Ang iae donavi consi●mavi D●x vero propter hunc honorem Donationem Confirmationem sibi a me factam Homagio michi Sacramento securitatem fecit scilicet q●od fidelis m●chi erit vitam hon●rem meum pro suo posse custodiet per Conv●ntiones inter nos praeloc●tas quae in hac Charta continentur Stephen K ng of England c Know ye that I have appointed Henry Duke of Normandy Successor of the Kingdom of England after me and my Heir by hereditary Righ● and so have given and confirmed the Kingdom of England to him and his Heirs For which Honour Donation and Confi●mation made by me to him he gave me Security by Homage and Oath that he would be faithful to me and preserve my Life and Honour to the utmost of his power according to the Agreements made by us which are contained in this Charter Neubrigensis speaking of this Treaty says L. 1. c 30. p. 104.

Quibus Deo propitio sal●briter actis Rex Angliam Anglia pacem recepit annis enim jamplurimis fere nudo regis nomine insignis tunc recipere visus est hujus rem nominis quasi tunc primo regnare coepit quia tunc primo purgata Invasionis Tyrannica macula legitimi principis justitiam induit Which things being done by God's Assistance the King received England and England received Peace for having had the bare name of King for many Years now he enjoyed the thing it self and began then first to reign because then the Blot of Tyrannical Invasion being first wiped out he exercised the Justice of a lawful King The Author 's further Words about this Accord p. 22. And thus the Oaths of Allegiance were continued to one that had no Right for his Life and made to one who predended to no R ght but after his Mother who was set aside in this Agreement for we never read that she was present at the Agreement or resigned her Right to the Crown So that here were three Oaths of Allegiance at once that to Maud the Empress that to King Stephen and to Henry II. and yet the general Good of the Nation must give an equitable Sense of these Oaths or there must be Perjury on all sides The Answer to what the Author says about this Agreement and the Exclusion of Maud c. By this Accord it was owned by King Stephen Bishops and Barons which were then the Parliament or Colloquium as the Author confesseth that th● hereditary Right was in Duke Henry and he granted that King Stephen during his Life should peaceably enjoy his Kingdom And if the Right was in Henry might he not recede from it if he pleased And the Agreement says he did during Stephen's Life This Retrocession made the Bishops and Barons Oaths to the Agreement lawful and if he had not some testimony of a Cession or Resignation by and from his Mother though not mentioned in the Agreement this Convention could not upon Stephen's Acknowledgment only have own'd his hereditary Right upon Oath And that by Cession or some other way she did quit and leave her Right to govern to her Son 't is most probable from what follows M●nd the Empress Malm●b f. 104. a.n. 10. upon the death of her Father and the Invasion of Stephen on the 30●h of September in the Year 1139 came into England with her Brother Robert and managed the War against him in her own Person her Son being but a Child He was born A.D. 1133. and her Husband engaged in the Defence of Normandy Anjon c. against the King of France Her three great Supports were her half Brother Robert Earl of Gloucester Ranulph Earl of Chester and Milo Earl of Hereford the last Chaon Gervas Col. 1359. n. 10 Col. 1361. n. 10.
