First sentence
editThe word "give" in "give a settlement" is used in the same sense as you would say "give a judgement". I wanted to avoid using "make a settlement" because this could give the impression that Louis was party to the settlement. The most precise term would probably be "award a settlement", but I was afraid this could be confusing. I've made a change in the language though (added words in italics), which will hopefully make it clearer:
The Mise of Amiens was a settlement given by King Louis IX of France on 23 January 1264 in the conflict between King Henry III of England and his rebellious barons, led by Simon de Montfort.

- Hmmm, better, but "given" still seems a little vague to me. I'll give it some thought to see if I can come up with an alternative. Gatoclass (talk) 05:29, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
