Talk:Mise of Amiens

First sentence
The word "give" in "give a settlement" is used in the same sense as you would say "give a judgement". I wanted to avoid using "make a settlement" because this could give the impression that Louis was party to the settlement. The most precise term would probably be "award a settlement", but I was afraid this could be confusing. I've made a change in the language though (added words in italics), which will hopefully make it clearer:

"The Mise of Amiens was a settlement given by King Louis IX of France on 23 January 1264 in the conflict between King Henry III of England and his rebellious barons, led by Simon de Montfort." Lampman (talk) 02:58, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, better, but "given" still seems a little vague to me. I'll give it some thought to see if I can come up with an alternative. Gatoclass (talk) 05:29, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
