II. The Duchies of Calais and Normandy shall now and forever be bound in fealty to the King of England and shall serve as his servants and representatives in Gaullia, the title Chancellor in France being merged with the title Duc du Calais, now in the person of Thomas Erpyngham II.
III. The surrendered nobles of Normandy shall all come before the King of England and pledge their fealty to his majesty, as shall all of their descendants, as vassals of the King.
IV. Each of the surrendering families of Normandy shall pay an indemnity to the crown of England in proportion to their role in opposing the rightful sovereignty of King John II over them.
V. No noble holding the majority of his lands in Normandy or Calais shall ever pledge themselves as vassal to another King, regardless of overlapping claims, on charge of high treason
