King Philip, still clinging to his friend, made a treaty of alliance with him against Henry of England.

That done, sealed and delivered, Richard sent for his brother John.

'Brother,' he said, 'I have declared war against my father, and Philip is to be of our party.

In his name and my own I am to tell you that one of two things you must do.

You may stay in our lands or leave them; but if you stay you must sign our treaty of alliance.' Too definite for John, all this: he asked for time, and Richard gave him till nightfall.
