CASE II 4 H 3, Dower, Fitz 179 Stamf Praer Ch 12: 1220

An English woman residing in France at the time of war between the two nations shall not have her dower in England of her English husband’s land until the countries are common, that is, until there be peace between them ; for she is under the power of the King of France ; and if she should have her dower while she resides there, it, would tend to weaken the King of England. After peace between them, she shall have her dower.
