5 If anyone sets an ambush, premeditatedly assaults a knight, beats him with a club, and pulls his hair, let him make compensation to him as for his death since this a serious dishonor. If, on the other hand, anyone in anger strikes a knight with any blow whatsoever with [72] fist or stone, rock or club but without drawing blood , let three ounces be given him. But if there is bloodshed from the body, let four ounces be given him; from the head, five; and from the face, six.

 

 But if one strikes a knight in his limbs so he appears incapacitated, let him be compensated as for his death. Indeed if he is taken prisoner and put in shackles or leg irons , let him be compensated for half of the value of his death. If he is attacked, beaten, wounded, put in an underground cell, or held for ransom, let the compensation be made as for his death.

 

 If he was only taken prisoner and held under guard, suffered no insult or disgrace, and was not confined for a long time, let compensation be made through a penalty of submission and homage or by the captive’s retaliation if he appears to be of equal rank. If the captor is of higher rank than the captive, let him provide him a knight of equal rank who shall carry out the penalty of submission and homage and homage or undergo the captive’s retaliation.

 

Moreover, for a knight who has two knights as his vassals settled on his fiefs and maintains one of them in his household, let all this abovesaid compensation be made to him or, in place of him, let it be made twice over.
