My lord prior, you are to tell your lord, who holds the kingdoms of Castile and León, that my liege lord, the King of Castile and León and Duke of Lancaster, here present, has come to this land, which belongs to him by virtue of his marriage to his wife, my lady Queen Constanza, the legitimate daughter of King Pedro. Your lord, who calls himself the king of this land, has held it by force for a long time, as indeed did his father. My liege lord the king maintains that your lord, who currently holds these kingdoms, is obliged to restore them to him, along with all the income and profits which your liege lord and his father have up to now derived from them. Moreover, he should pay for all the damage received and expenses incurred by my liege lord the king and which he still bears daily. However, for the love of God, he is willing to proceed as follows: your lord should hand back to him, forthwith and without further conditions, the aforesaid kingdoms that he holds, and my liege lord the king and his lady wife the queen will willingly exempt him of the repayment of all that he and his father have taken, as well as of the expenses that they have incurred and all the damages that they have suffered in this matter. If he declines to do this, my liege lord the king intends to leave these issues to the judgement of divine justice.
