Item, all divisions were now to be at an end,--and no one was to be
reproached for the part he had taken on either side, nor was any one
to suffer for his late conduct. Each person was to have restored to
him whatever had belonged to him before open hostilities commenced,
notwithstanding any acts to the contrary.
Item, the count de Dunois was to be repossessed of all the lands the
king had taken from him.
Item, the count de Dammartin was to have again his county of Dammartin,
and all other his lands which the king might have given away as
confiscated.
Item, the count d'Armagnac was to have again the lands the king had
seized.
Item, the duke of Bourbon was to have all his towns, castles, and
lands, which the king had conquered, restored to him; and he was,
besides, to receive an annual pension of thirty-six thousand francs,
on account of his marriage with the king's sister, and to be appointed
captain of the gens d'armes on the king's establishment.
Item, in consideration of the king having failed in his engagements
with the duke of Calabria, respecting the conquest of Naples, he was
to receive the sum of two hundred thousand golden crowns, and to have
the command of three hundred lances of the gens d'armes on the king's
establishment.
Item, the duke de Nemours was also to have the command of two hundred
of the said lances, and to be appointed governor of the Isle de France.
Item, the count de St Pol was constituted constable of France; and the
king invested him with his sword of office, with his own hand, publicly
in the palace at Paris.
Item, the duke of Berry, only brother to the king, was to have given
him, as his appanage, the duchy of Normandy, for him and the heirs-male
of his body, to hold in the same free manner as the dukes of Normandy
had anciently held the same from the kings of France; that is to say,
by fealty and homage; and thenceforward the dukes of Brittany and
Alençon should hold their duchies from the duke of Normandy, as they
had done in times passed.
Item, the count de Charolois should have restored to him all the lands
which had been repurchased by the king from the duke his father,
together with the county of Guines, to be enjoyed by him and his
heirs-male, in the manner as shall hereafter be expressed.
Item, the king promises, by this treaty, never to constrain any of
the said princes to appear personally before him, whatever summons he
may issue, saving on such services as they owe to the king on their
fidelity, and for the defence and evident welfare of the kingdom.
Item, all such towns, castles, and forts as may have been taken during
these said divisions, on either side, shall be instantly restored to
their right owners, with all or any effects that may have been taken
from them.
When these matters had been fully settled, each of the princes received
letters-patent from the king, confirming all the articles that
concerned each personally.
