66. In case this peace should in any way be contravened, it
shall not be reputed an infraction or rupture; but the breach
shall forthwith be made up, and reparation made, without coming
to hostilities either by sea or land, before the King and the
Duke’s ambassadors have met together to adjust the difference
in an amicable way.
67. It is agreed, that as soon as the said lady is brought
to Lisle or Douay, and before she be conducted to Arras, the
promises and sureties which follow shall be given the Duke and
States. That in case the Dauphin do not accomplish the marriage
in due time, the said lady shall be returned, at the King’s
or Dauphin’s charge, to her father or brother, in one of the
good towns of Brabant, Flanders, or Hainault, in the Duke’s
possession; and the King and Dauphin, in that case, shall quit
all pretensions for keeping the territories and countries
of Artois, Burgundy, Charolois, Maconnois, Auxerrois, the
lordships of Salins, Bar-sur-Seine, and Noyers, and surrender
them to the Duke in the name of his son Philip, while under
age, or to Philip when of age, reserving only the homage and
sovereignty to him.
68. The King shall also, upon the failure of the marriage,
renounce his right to Lisle, Douay, and Orchies, and consent
they shall belong for ever to the Counts and Countesses of
Flanders.
69. The signing, sealing, and ratifying of all the premises
in ample and due form, shall be done by the parties on either
sides. The treaty shall also be registered and verified in
the court of the Parliament of Paris, and in the Chambers of
Accompts, and of the Finances.
The rest of the articles being mere matter of form, concerning
the observation of the treaty, are omitted.
CH. VII.—How the King sent for the Holy Man of Calabria to Tours,
supposing he could cure him; and of the strange Things that were done by
the King, during his Sickness, to preserve his Authority.—1482.
