‘Item, they also ordain, that in the above city, and in the towns
within the said bishoprick, no one shall be reputed a citizen unless
he shall have really resided within such town in which he shall claim
his right of citizenship. And all such rights of citizenship are for
the present annulled; for although there may be resident citizens in
the aforesaid towns, they cannot, in such right, claim any moveables by
reason of inheritance, without the cognizance of the lords under whom
such persons have lived, and in whose territory such inheritances are
situated.
‘Item, they ordain, that from this moment, and in times to come, the
towns of Huy, Dinant, and others within the territory of Liege, the
country of Los, the country of Hasbane, and all within the jurisdiction
of Liege, shall no longer call together any assembly, or congregation
of people, under pretence of holding councils or otherwise, without the
consent of their aforesaid bishop and lord, or of the chapter of Liege,
should the bishoprick at the time be vacant.
‘Item, they ordain, that the bishop of Liege, or any others having the
government of the said territory and its dependancies, shall never bear
arms against the king or kings of France, their successors; nor against
the two said dukes, their successors in the said duchies and counties;
nor against the count de Namur for the time being, or his successors;
nor against any of the countries, of the aforesaid, except when ordered
by the emperor, and only when the emperor shall be himself present:
provided, nevertheless, that the king of France and the above-mentioned
persons do not invade the territories of the bishop and chapter of
Liege.
‘Item, they likewise ordain, that in perpetual remembrance of this
victory, and the conquest made over them by the above two dukes, they
and their successors shall have a free passage, whenever they may
choose to cross the river Meuse, through all towns in the territory of
Liege, fortified or not, and with a body of men at arms or with few
attendants according to their pleasure,--provided they do not permit
any of the inhabitants of the said towns, villages, or country through
which they shall pass, to be any way molested by their men,--and
provisions shall be found them for their money, without demanding
higher prices for the articles than they are usually sold for.
‘Item, they ordain, that the coin of the aforesaid dukes and their
successors shall have free currency throughout the territories and
dependancies of the bishop and chapter of Liege.
