'Similar oaths and promises shall be taken and made, under the like
penalty, by our very dear and well-beloved cousins, uncle, son and
nephew, the cardinal de Bar, the king of Sicily, the dukes of Berry,
de Tours, d'Orleans, de Bretagne, de Bourbon, d'Alençon, and de Bar;
the counts de Vertus, d'Eu, Richemont, de Dreux constable of France,
de la Marche, de Vendôme grand master of the household, de Marle, le
Bouteiller de France, d'Armagnac, de St Pol, de Penthievre, and de
Tancarville, with all others of our blood and lineage, and the members
of the three estates in their countries. Those present will take the
oath in our hands, and the absent in the hands of our deputies: they
will each deliver into our chancery copies of their oath and promise,
signed and sealed by them, that the remembrance of it may endure for
ever.
'We also ordain, that the aforesaid oath and engagement shall be taken
before our commissioners, under pain of the above-mentioned penalties,
by all prelates, knights, barons, captains, bailiffs, seneschals,
provosts, and others our officers, vassals and subjects of all ranks,
ecclesiastical and secular, noble and not noble, who shall each of
them sign and seal his separate engagement, which shall be transmitted
to our chancery for the aforesaid purpose.
'Item, our said cousin of Burgundy, and all the afore-mentioned princes
of our blood, shall send letters to their subjects and vassals,
requiring them to take their oaths in like manner. And for the better
security of this peace, our said cousin of Brabant, the countess of
Hainault, and the deputies aforesaid, shall exert their utmost power
to prevail on our very dear and well-beloved cousins duke William of
Bavaria, count of Hainault, the duke of Lorraine, the count of Savoy,
the bishop of Liege, the count of Namur, and such others as they think
proper, to take a similar oath and promise to observe all the articles
of the peace.
'We also will and command, that should any excesses be committed which
might endanger the aforesaid peace, it shall not therefore be broken;
but the party who shall feel himself injured shall appeal to our courts
of justice, when such reparation shall be made him as the case may
legally require.
