CHAP. XLVI.

 A ROYAL EDICT RESPECTING WHAT THE KING OF FRANCE HAD CONCEDED TO THE
 COUNT DE CHAROLOIS BY THE TREATY OF CONFLANS.


'Louis, &c. Whereas by the advice and deliberation of our said brother
of Normandy, and of our very dear and well beloved cousins the dukes of
Brittany, Calabria, Bourbon, Nemours,--the counts du Maine, du Perche,
and d'Armagnac,--the presidents of our court of parliament, and other
able and well informed persons of our realm, we have given, conceded,
and yielded up, and by these presents do give, concede, and yield up to
our said brother and cousin the count de Charolois, in consideration
and in recompence of what has been before stated, and also because our
said cousin has liberally and fully supported, as far as lay in his
power, our said brother, and the other princes of our blood, in the
settlement of the late divisions, and for the restoration of peace,
for him and his heirs, males and females, legally descended from him,
to enjoy for ever the cities, towns, fortresses, lands, and lordships,
appertaining to us on and upon each side of the river Somme,--namely,
Amiens, St Quentin, Corbie, Abbeville, together with the county
of Ponthieu, lying on both sides of the river Somme, Dourlens, St
Ricquier, Crevecoeur, Arleux, Montrieul, Crotoy, Mortaigne, with all
their dependances whatever, and all others that may have belonged
to us in right of our crown, from the said river Somme inclusively,
stretching on the side of Artois, Flanders, and Hainault, as well
within our kingdom as within the limits of the empire,--all of which
our said uncle of Burgundy lately held and was in the possession of,
by virtue of the treaty of Arras, prior to the repurchase we made of
them,--comprehending also, in regard to the towns seated on the Somme
on the side nearest our kingdom, the bailiwicks and sheriffdoms of
these said towns in the same form and manner as our said uncle was
possessed of them, to be enjoyed by our said brother and cousin, and by
their legal heirs, males and females, descending in a direct line from
them, together with all the revenues, domains, and taxes, in the same
manner as enjoyed by our said uncle, without retaining to ourself any
thing, excepting the faith, homage, and sovereignty, as lord paramount
of the same.
