of Nevers, to transfer and make over to our said cousin and
brother, the Count of Charolois, all that right which he hath,
or pretends to have, to those castles, towns, provostships,
and chatellanies, and he shall surrender all that he possesses
therein, and give possession thereof to our said brother and
cousin the Count of Charolois, or those commissioned by him:
and herewith we have made over and transferred to our said
brother and cousin, for himself, his heirs and successors,
in inheritance for ever, the county of Guisnes, with all its
appurtenances and dependencies, to be enjoyed by our said
brother and cousin, and his heirs and successors, with all
rights, profits, and emoluments whatsoever, as well of the
domain, as the aids, taxes, and incomes whatsoever, without
retaining or reserving anything for ourselves, except the
fealty, homage, and sovereignty thereof: and we hold ourselves
obliged to make compensation to the Sieur de Croy and others
in respect to any right they have, or pretend to have, in the
said county, and to keep our said brother and cousin and his
heirs in the quiet and peaceable possession of the said county
against the said De Croy and all others. All which things
we have and do promise, _bonâ fide_, on the word of a king,
upon our oath, and upon the penalty of all the estates that
we are now or shall be possessed of, for ourselves, our heirs
and successors, to hold, keep, maintain, and execute every
particular in the same manner and form aforegoing, inviolably,
so as never to contravene the same, either by ourselves or
any other; neither shall we suffer any other, directly or
indirectly, to contravene the same, openly or covertly, and
all without any fraud, deceit, or evil design; and for the
accomplishment and execution of the things above mentioned,
and every of them, we do and shall submit to the coercion
and power of our holy father the Pope: and we do and will
consent, for ourselves and successors, in all courts, as well
ecclesiastical as civil, to be constrained to observe all and
every of the things above mentioned, by renouncing all rights,
privileges, ordinances, royal edicts, exceptions, and all
things whatsoever, whereby anything, either in part or in the
whole, shall be done contrary to the premises, as fully as if
all the said rights, ordinances, edicts, exceptions, and other
renunciations, were expressly declared and specified by these
presents. Besides which, we will charge, and expressly command
our well-beloved and faithful chancellor, our councillors
in our council of state, treasurers, superintendents of our
finances, bailiffs, seneschals, and other justiciaries and
officers, or their lieutenants, and every of them, so far as
it relates to them, that they strictly observe, and in every
