Boulogne agreement - Declaration of 1308

When researching the significance of "held in -- of the honour of Boulogne of the king and of the king in chief of the honour of Boulogne" I came across the Wikipedia page for this agreement. The references to Boulogne came from my research on Thomas Fitz-Otho.

This is something to do with controlling Edward II's powers

" The Boulogne agreement was a document signed by a group of English magnates in 1308, concerning the government of Edward II. After the death of Edward I in 1307, discontent soon developed against the new king. "

The "Honour of Boulogne" may have some significance here???

Update April 2024

Much more inforation relating the to the heritage of Sir John de Botetourt and why there is a chantry chapel in the parish church of Belchamp Walter has been analyzed.

The Wikipedia page (after more careful reading) indicated the Sir John de Botetourt was a signatory on the agreement but I had not followed it up. Along with the Ordinances of 1311, the Boulogne Agreement of 1308 seems to involve the same group of "magnates". This group incliuded Sir John de Botetourt, Aymer de Valence (Pembrooke) and Humphrey de Bohun (Hereford).
