In the first place, my lord regent, or his deputies, shall, on the
first day of March next, appear in arms in the plain between Crotoy and
Rue, and for three successive days, from sun-rise until three o'clock
in the afternoon; when if they should not be combated by the said sir
James so powerfully that the field of battle shall remain to the said
sir James de Harcourt, he, the said sir James, engages loyally to
deliver up the town and castle of Crotoy to the said lord regent, or
to whomever else he may appoint. This is to be accomplished at three
o'clock in the afternoon of the said ensuing third day of March.
Item, the said sir James de Harcourt and all such as may please shall
have full liberty to depart from the town and castle of Crotoy, on the
day of its surrender, excepting those who may have been implicated in
the death of the late duke of Burgundy, should any such be there, who
are to remain at the discretion of the lord regent.
Item, sir James shall leave within the castle all the powder,
cross-bows and bolts, without any way injuring or damaging them, with
the exception of nine veuglaires, two kegs of powder, twenty three
cross-bows, and nine boxes of bolts. His men to be allowed to carry
with them their armour, clothes and other effects.
Item, in case any of the men at arms, or inhabitants of the said town
and castle shall wish to take the oaths of allegiance to the lord
regent, all their effects, moveable and immoveable, shall be preserved
to them, and sufficient certificates given them thereof.
Item, the said sir James shall have the use of part of the fleet
before Crotoy, namely, the great hulk and the barge, Colin l'Anglois,
Plumeterre, Balenier, Jacquese and Martinet,--and he shall leave behind
all other vessels. The boats of the fishermen shall remain to their
owners, on condition that they take the oaths of allegiance.
Item, sir James shall deliver up all the prisoners whom he may have at
this moment in the town and castle of Crotoy, and, in return, sir Raoul
le Bouteiller will give up one of his men, whom he has captured.
Item, during the whole intermediate time henceforth to the first day
of March, all those within the said town and castle shall abstain from
making war either secretly or openly, saving that sir James de Harcourt
may carry on the war wheresoever he pleases on the other side of the
Seine.
Item, it is strictly forbidden any persons that belong to the lord
regent to make any inroads, or to plunder the lands appertaining to the
said town and castle, or on the lands of any of their allies, during
