– Enacted in the 1209th year of the Lord, in the month of January. – Which that it be held firm, I have strengthened the present charter with the fortification of my seal. – After said Thibaut shall have completed his twenty first year, or even before, if it pleased said countess Blanche his mother, I would receive him as my man for all things which the father count Henry held from my father, and count Thibaut, son of said count Henry, held from me. Thus I therefore accept and approve, and I grant to said Thibaut and his mother countess Blanche that if anyone wishes to draw them into a suit for anything that pertains to my fief, I would not hear that suit, nor would anyone on my part, until said Thibaut shall have completed his twenty first year: rather I would help them in every way. Namely, that said Thibaut and his mother countess Blanche should not and cannot be drawn into a suit for anything that Thibaut’s father held when he died, until said Thibaut shall have completed his twenty first year since such is the usage and custom in France, and it is just, that noone should be accountable within the first twenty one years of his life for anything his father held without challenge when he died. I Odo, duke of Burgundy, make known to the present and the future that I accept, approve and grant what the lord Philip king of France did towards Thibaut, the son of my beloved faithful and relative Thibaut, late count of Champagne, and my beloved and faithful Blanche, countess of Champagne, and towards that Blanche, countess of Champagne, as is fully contained in the charter that king made about it.
