The country between Philip's Evreux (taken April 1199), Pacy, Ivry and Nonancourt (Philip's since 1196) and John's castles of Conches, Breteuil, Verneuil, Tillieres, Le Neubourg, Acquigny and Louviers.
Philip's seizure of Evreux in April 1199 turned the Iton valley into a front line; the truce of autumn 1199 holds it this winter. Le Goulet will draw a line through it, midway between Evreux and Le Neubourg.
How things stand that morning
Truce in force; frontier garrisons; the plain around Evreux unsettled.
Who raids here
Philip's garrisons in Evreux, Pacy, Ivry and Nonancourt; John's in Conches (Tosny), Breteuil (Leicester), Verneuil and Tillieres, Le Neubourg and Acquigny.
