[edit] Improving

A great source from the Chronicles of England is here : http://www.gutenberg.org/files/16760/16760-8.txt

I used it to write the french article (quite developped btw), but I have doubts on the meaning of an article of this treaty. If anyone can help by converting it into smaller parts (so i can understand it for sure :-) :

• That the king should resume and take into his hands againe, all such portions and parcels of inheritance belonging to the crowne, as he had giuen away, or were otherwise vsurped by any maner of person, and that all those possessions which by any intrusion had béene violentlie taken from the right owners, since the daies of king Henrie, should be restored to them that were rightlie possessed in the same by the daies of the said king.

[edit] My doubts are, i think, coming of the expression "all those possessions". Does it refer to 1) the previous commented possessions, or 2) other possessions described just after ? The next article begins by "That all those castels, which contrarie to all reason and good order had béene made and builded by any maner of person [...]", so i tend to think it's 2).
