A more recent theory, proposed by the historian Pierre Chaplais, suggests that Edward and Gaveston entered into a bond of [[blood brother|adoptive brotherhood]].<ref>{{harvnb|Phillips|2011|p=100}}; {{harvnb|Chaplais|1994|pp=11–13}}</ref> Compacts of adoptive brotherhood, in which the participants pledged to support each other in a form of "brotherhood-in-arms", were not unknown between close male friends in the Middle Ages.<ref>{{harvnb|Chaplais|1994|pp=14–19}}</ref> Many chroniclers described Edward and Gaveston's relationship as one of brotherhood, and one explicitly noted that Edward had taken Gaveston as his adopted brother.<ref>{{harvnb|Phillips|2011|p=102}}</ref> Chaplais argues that the pair may have made a formal compact in either 1300 or 1301, and that they would have seen any later promises they made to separate or to leave each other as having been made under duress, and therefore invalid.<ref>{{harvnb|Chaplais|1994|pp=20–22.}}</ref> Such a compact, however, might not have excluded their relationship from having a sexual dimension as well.<ref name="Prestwich 2003 72"/>

 

In 1308, Edward's marriage to Isabella of France proceeded.<ref>{{harvnb|Phillips|2011|p=132}}</ref> Edward crossed the [[English Channel]] to France in January, leaving Gaveston as his ''custos regni'' in charge of the kingdom in his absence.<ref>{{harvnb|Phillips|2011|p=133}}</ref> This arrangement was unusual, and involved unprecedented powers being delegated to Gaveston, backed by a specially engraved [[Great Seal of the Realm|Great Seal]].<ref>{{harvnb|Chaplais|1994|pp=34–41}}</ref> Edward probably hoped that the marriage would strengthen his position in Gascony and bring him much needed funds.<ref name=Brown1988P575/> The final negotiations, however, proved challenging: Edward and Philip IV did not like each other, and the French King drove a hard bargain over the size of Isabella's [[dower]] and the details of the administration of Edward's lands in France.<ref>{{harvnb|Brown|1988|pp=574–575, 578, 584}}; {{harvnb|Phillips|2011|pp=131–134}}</ref> As part of the agreement, Edward gave homage to Philip for the Duchy of Aquitaine and agreed to a commission to complete the implementation of the 1303 Treaty of Paris.<ref>{{harvnb|Phillips|2011|pp=131–134}}</ref>
