'The said commissioners will deliver to the king, the duke of
Acquitaine, or to any person or persons they may please to nominate,
the keys of the city of Arras, and of all the towns and fortified
places belonging to the said duke of Burgundy within the realm of
France, to which the king or his son may appoint governors, or other
officers, according to their pleasure, and for so long a time as they
may choose, without any way infringing the said peace.
'The duke of Burgundy will surrender to the king, or to his
commissioner, the castle of Crotoy, and replace it in his hands.
'Item, the duke of Burgundy binds himself to dismiss from his family
all who have in any way incurred the indignation of the king or
the duke of Acquitaine, and no longer to support them within his
territories, of which due notice shall be given them in writing.
'Item, all the lands or possessions that may have been seized by the
king from the vassals, subjects, well-wishers, or partisans, of the
duke of Burgundy, of whatever kind they may have been, on account of
this war, shall be faithfully restored to them.
'In like manner, all sentences of banishment that have been issued for
the aforesaid cause shall be annulled; and if the duke of Burgundy have
seized and kept possession of any lands or possessions of the king's
subjects, well-wishers, or of those who may have served the king in
this present year, they shall be wholly and completely restored.
'Item, notwithstanding the duke's commissioners have affirmed to the
king and the duke of Acquitaine that he had not entered into any
confederation or alliance with the English,--that all suspicions may
cease on that head, they now promise for the duke of Burgundy, that he
will not henceforth form any alliance with the English except with the
permission and consent of the king and the duke of Acquitaine.
'Item, in regard to the reparation of the duke of Burgundy's
honour, which the said commissioners think has been much tarnished
by expressions made use of, and published throughout the realm and
elsewhere, in different letters-patent and ordinances,--when the peace
shall be fully established and the king is returned to Paris, he will
consult with his own council, and with such persons as the duke may
think proper to send thither, on the best means of reparation, saving
the king's honour.
Item, the duke of Burgundy shall engage, on his word, that he will not,
by himself or others, persecute or wrong any person who may in this
quarrel have served the king personally, or under different captains,
nor any burghers of Paris, or other inhabitants, by secret or open
means, nor procure it to be done.
'Item, the king wills and ordains, that his subjects remain in such
lawful obedience as they are bound to by the treaty of Chartres, or
other treaties which may have been afterward made; and should such
treaties require any amendment, he orders it to be done, and that they
be faithfully observed without the smallest infringement.
