Act by which John III and Catherine swore to uphold the fueros of Navarre after their coronation. John's name (Don Johan) is in boldface in the middle of the ninth line.

John III (French: Jean d'Albret; 1469 – 14 June 1516) was jure uxoris King of Navarre from 1484 until his death, as husband and co-ruler of Queen Catherine.

He was a son of Alain I, Lord of Albret, and Frances, Countess of Périgord.[1]
