11. On the part of the Duke of Burgundy: for the country
of Ponthieu and Vimeux, Monsieur Philip de Crevecœur, Lord
des Cordes; for Corbie and the provostship of Feüilloy
and Beauquesne, the Lord of Contay; for Peronne, and the
provostship of Peronne, the Lord of Clary, and in his absence
the Lord de la Hargerie, and likewise for the provostships and
towns of Montdidier, Roye, and the adjacent countries; for
Artois, Cambresis, and Beaurevoir, John de Longueval, Lord of
Vaux; for the country of Marle, the Lord of Humbercourt; for
the country of Hainault, the Lord of Aimeries, Grand Bailiff
of Hainault; for the country of Liege and Namur, the Lord of
Humbercourt; for the country of Luxembourg, the governor of
the said country of Luxembourg, the Marquis of Rothelin; for
the country of Burgundy, duchy and county, &c., subject to the
duke, the Marshal of Burgundy; for the country of Mâconnois and
adjacent places, Monsieur de Clessy, Governor of Mâconnois; for
the country of Auxerre and places adjacent, Monsieur Tristan de
Toulonjon, Governor of Auxerre; for the town and chastellany of
Bar-sur-Seine, the Sieur d’Eschauez; for the sea of Flanders,
Monsieur de Lalain, admiral; for the sea of Holland, Zealand,
Artois, and Boulonnois, the Count of Boukam, admiral of those
parts.
12. If any of the conservators of the truce on either side
shall contravene the same, the king and the duke shall appoint
others well instructed in the premises, in the room of them.
13. The conservators, or their deputies in their lawful
absence, shall meet once a week alternately, on the borders
of the territories of each prince, to hear complaints and to
redress them; and if great difficulty should arise, they are to
refer the same to the superior councils, who shall determine
them.
14. The decisions of the conservators are to be obeyed, without
any appeals whatsoever.
15. The allies on both sides are comprehended in this truce, if
they have a mind to it, and if they intimate the same in due
time; but if any of the king’s allies shall, for themselves, or
in favour of him, make war on the said Duke of Burgundy, he is
free to oppose them with his arms, and the king is to give them
no manner of assistance, without making an infraction of the
truce: and the king is in the same position in respect to the
allies of the Duke of Burgundy.
16. The king shall declare himself in favour of the Duke of
Burgundy against the Emperor of the Romans, the citizens of
Cologne, and all that shall assist them; and he promises to
give them no manner of aid against the duke and his territories.
17. Seeing this treaty has been on foot since the month of May,
1474, all the places the king has taken since that time from
the duke shall be restored.
