Moreouer, that the prisoners taken in the warre should be deliuered on both parts within fift [...]ene daies. That there should be restitution made to the ladie Margaret of Austrich of all that she possessed a|fore the warre.The prince [...] Orange [...]cluded also [...] th [...]s peace. That the prince of Orange should be set at libertie with restauration to the principali|tie of Orange, and all that he possessed by the death of his father, which had [...] from him for fol|lowing the faction of the emperour. That the like should be doone to other barons. That there should be made restitution to the marquesse of Salu [...]e of his estate. That the king as soone as he arriued in the first towne of his realme, should ratifie this capi|tulation, and be bound to procure the Dolphin to ra|tifie it when he should come to the age of fouretéene yeares. Manie were named by common consent, and cheeflie the Switzers. Onelie there was not one of the potentates of Italie, except the pope, whom they named as conseruator of the accord, and that more for maner sake and ceremonie, than in effect and true meaning. Lastlie, it was expressed in the said capitulation, that in case the king for anie occa|sion, would not accomplish these matters promised; he should returne true prisoner.

This accord for the parts it conteined, brought no small astonishment to all Christendome.Whie this ac|cord set all Christendome in a woonde|ring. For when it was vnderstood, that the first execution thereof consisted in the deliuerie of the king, all mens opini|ons were, that being in his libertie, he would not deliuer vp Burgongnie, as being a member of too great importance for the realme of France. And except a few, who had counselled the emperour to it, all his court had the same iudgement, and namelie the Chancellor, who reprehended and detested the matter with so great vehemencie, that notwith|standing he was commanded to signe the capitula|tion (according to the office of chéefe chancellors) yet he refused to doo it, alledging; that in such matters, dangerous and hurtfull as that was, he ought not to vse the authoritie that was giuen him: neither could he be altered from this opinion, notwithstanding the emperour was angrie with him: who séeing him so resolute in his opinion, signed it himselfe, and with|in few daies after went to Madrill, to confirme the aliance, and make a foundation of amitie and good will with the king, whom he interteined in familiar and priuat sort.

Great were the ceremonies and demonstrati|ons of amitie betwéene them: oftentimes they she|wed themselues togither in places publike: and as often did they passe in secret familiar discourses.The French king marrieth the emperors sister accor|ding to a clause in the capitulation. They went togither in one coch vnto a castell not halfe a daies iournie from thence, where was quéene Eleanor, whom the king married. And yet in all these great signes of peace and amitie, he was ob|serued with as carefull and streict gard as before, without anie aduantage of libertie. So that he was embraced as a brother, and garded as a prisoner. A matter which made manifest to the world, that it was an accord full of discord, an aliance without amitie, and that vpon euerie occasion their ancient gelou|sies and passions would be stronger in them, than the regard of that aliance, made more by force than freendship. Manie daies were spent in these offices and ceremonies of amitie, when was brought from the ladie regent the ratification, togither with the de|claration, that with the Dolphin of France they would rather giue in hostage the kings second son, than the twelue barons.
