The first event of 1200. The legate Peter of Capua proclaimed the interdict on the French royal lands on 13 January 1200 under the pope's orders of 1199; the letters of 1200 instruct the French bishops on what services may be held, reproach Philip, answer his appeals, and record the terms on which the ban was lifted on 7 September 1200 after the king took Ingeborg back at Saint-Leger. Later letters show the case dragging on until 1213. Together with Rigord they fix the dates and the pressure on Philip in the months of Le Goulet.
