King Philip II of France and King John of England sign the Treaty of Le Goulet, on May 22, 1200 ending a succession conflict between John and his nephew Arthur of Brittany after Richard I's death.
Under the treaty, Philip recognized John as king in exchange for 20,000 marks, acknowledgment of Philip's overlordship over John's French lands, and the cession of Évreux and the Norman Vexin to France. The peace was temporary, as Philip would resume hostilities in 1202, leading to England's loss of continental Normandy by 1204.
