And as a meane or mediatrix betwéene the parties, there was Chri|stierna dutchesse of Loraine, with hir sonne the yong duke, which dutchesse, as well here as before at Cer|campe, [page 1184] trauelled most earnestlie to doo good betwixt the parties, and to bring them to a finall accord, whose endeuor therein was to the great good liking & con|tentation of all the said parties. After that this trea|tie had continued a long time, and now rest [...]d no|thing to staie them frõ concluding a generall peace, but onelie the article touching Calis, at length that matter was also accorded by a speciall treatie be|twixt the quéenes maiestie of England, [...]. The articles of the peace betwixt the [...]eenes ma| [...]tie and the French king. & the French king, Guido Caualcanti a gentleman of Florence being the meane to bring the same to effect. The sub|stance of which articles was, that Calis shuld rest in the Frenchmens hands, for the terme of eight yéeres, and at the end of that terme, they couenanted to ren|der the same: or else for default, to forfeit vnto the quéenes highnesse the summe of fiue hundred thou|sand crownes; and for suertie hereof, to deliuer foure hostages, such as hir maiestie should thinke suffici|ent. And in case the towne were not deliuered at the end of the said eight yéeres, though the monie were paid according to the couenants: yet notwithstan|ding the right and title to the said towne and coun|trie adioining, should alwaies remaine and be reser|ued vnto the crowne and realme of England. It was further concluded also, that a peace should be firmed and had betwixt the realmes of England and Scotland, such fortresses to be rased as had been built and made by the Scots and French on the borders towards England, as Haimouth and others.
