Againe, that at the time when the hostages should be deliuered, he should be bound to giue bils of ex|change for the paie of six thousand footmen for six mo|neths immediatlie after the emperours arriuall in Italie: that he should also furnish for his seruice fiue hundred lances paied, with a band of artillerie. That he should saue harmelesse the emperour of his pro|mise made to the king of England by pensions, which the French king should paie to him,The king of England in|cluded in this yeare. the are|rages whereof amounted to fiue hundred thousand crownes, or else to deliuer so much in readie monie to the emperour. That they should both ioine to be|séech the pope to call a generall councell with all spéed, to the end to consult vpon an vniuersall peace amongst christians, to aduance an enterprise a|gainst the infidels and heretikes, and to grant to all the croisade for thrée yeares. That within six weeks the king should restore the duke of Burbon in most ample forme, into all his estates, goods moouable and vnmoouable, and fruits and reuenues receiued: nor to molest him for anie thing past, nor constraine him to dwell or go to the realme of France. That it should be lawfull to the said duke of Burbon, to demand by the waie of law and iustice, the earledome of Pro|uence. That in like sort all those that had followed him, should reenter in safetie into their goods and states, and namelie the bishop of Autun, and mon|sieur de saint Ualier.

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.
