35. A general act of indemnity is agreed to on both sides, in
as ample manner as could be desired by offenders.
36. The subjects and adherents of both parties shall be
reinstated in their dignities, benefices, fiefs, lands,
signiories, and other inheritances, rents, &c., without being
called in question for any thing that happened during the
war, and notwithstanding any declarations, confiscations, and
arrests, to the contrary whatsoever.
37. If the inheritances of any persons who followed the fortune
of the adverse party have been sold in court for the payment of
their debts, they shall forthwith re-enter upon the peace, and
pay their debts within a year after; if not, the order of court
shall stand.
38. In case the debts were purely personal, for which the
inheritance of the followers of the opposite party have been
sold, the debtor shall return to his inheritance, without
making any compensation to the purchaser.
39. The subjects on both sides shall return to the possession
of their immoveable goods, as well before the troubles begun in
Duke Charles’s time, as after.
40. As to the profits and income of estates, which have been
levied by the commanders of the respective parties, those
that received them shall never be accountable for them, and
no prosecution in law, upon that account, shall take effect
against them.
41. All personal debts granted by the princes, or pursuant to
their order, shall be theirs who had the grant of them. As to
all other moveables in being upon the peace, they shall belong
to those that had them before the war, without any molestation
or any impediment whatsoever.
42. The town of St. Omer and its dependencies, are fully
discharged of all rewards, remissions, &c., which have been
granted them.
43. The Duke of Austria and his children are, by this treaty,
fully discharged of all debts they may owe to those who adhered
to the contrary party, and they and their descendants shall
never be molested for them.
44. Upon returning to their possessions, nobody shall take any
oath to the prince or lord under whom the said possessions are,
saving vassals and feoffees.
45. The widow of the late Peter of Luxemburg, and the ladies
Mary and Frances, her daughters, shall be restored to their
estates, as well those which they enjoyed in the lifetime of
Lewis de Luxemburg, Count of St. Paul, Madame Jane de Bar his
wife, and John de Luxemburg, Count of Marle, their eldest son.
In like manner, Monsieur de Croy, Count of Porcien, is restored
particularly to the County of Porcien, the granaries belonging
to the castle of Cambarsay, Montcornet, and other appanages, in
the signiory of Bar-sur-Aube, and other places in Picardy.
