Saint-Pierre-d'Autils in the context of "Treaty of Le Goulet"

The Treaty of Le Goulet was a treaty signed by Kings John of England and Philip II of France in May 1200. It ended the first succession war following Richard I's death, temporarily settling territorial disputes over Normandy and recognizing John as the rightful heir and King of England. The peace held until Philip's invasion of Normandy in 1202, which led to continental Normandy formal annexation to the crown lands of France.

The treaty was signed at Le Goulet, an island in the middle of the Seine river near Vernon in Normandy. It clarified the feudal hierarchy between the two monarchs, with John acknowledging Philip as his overlord for his French lands. In return, Philip dropped his support for Arthur of Brittany (son of John's late brother Geoffrey) and accepted John's claim to the English throne.
