On 15th May, John met with Pandulf the Papal Legate at the Templars Preceptory in Temple Ewell. Pandulf was attended by Almeric, the Grand Master of Templars, and the Preceptor of Temple Ewell. Also present were knights and nobles. Kneeling before Pandulf, John surrendered his crown and placed into his hands the signed charter granting the Pope the Kingdoms of England and Ireland, which were to be held freehold for an annual rent of 1000 marks. Having sworn fealty John paid part of the money. Pandulf returned the crown to John and walked on the money laid at his feet, signifying the subjugation of England. Two years later John was forced by his Barons to sign the great Magna Carta.
