1265年1月至3月，由莱斯特总督西蒙·德·蒙特福特（Simon de Montfort）领导的革命理事会召开议会，期间亨利三世确认了《大宪章》。虽然蒙特福特议会的重要性在其间的几个世纪里一直在争论，但它在大宪章故事中的作用通常被遗忘。这可能是因为它不是普遍认识到，文本的1265确认大宪章仍然生存。该确认书未登记在宪章名册上，也未发现任何登记。然而，文本已被保存在四个副本，其中三个给出了证人名单，详细说明了那些谁赞同确认。它提供了极其宝贵的证据，证明了蒙特福特在这个重要议会中的支持基础的性质，以及蒙特福特理事会为巩固其权威而采取的战略。这是本文的目的，提请注意这一鲜为人知的文本，使其内容更容易通过提供转录和翻译，并讨论其背景和意义。
During the course of the parliament held between January and March 1265 by the revolutionary council led by Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester, Henry III confirmed Magna Carta. Although the significance of Montfort’s parliament has been debated throughout the intervening centuries, its role in the story of Magna Carta has generally been forgotten. This is probably because it is not generally appreciated that the text of the 1265 confirmation of Magna Carta still survives. The confirmation was not enrolled on the Charter Rolls and no engrossments have been discovered. Yet the text has been preserved in four copies, three of them giving the witness list detailing those who endorsed the confirmation. It supplies extremely valuable evidence for the nature of the Montfortian support base at this momentous parliament, as well as for the strategies that Montfort’s council pursued to entrench its authority. It is the purpose of the present article to bring attention to this little-known text, to make its contents more accessible by providing a transcription and translation and to discuss its context and significance.
