 The rebels had previously been completely disinherited , and their land taken into the king 's hands . The Dictum instead extended a pardon , and restored land to their previous owners , contingent on payment of certain penalties that were proportional to the level of involvement in the rebellion . It was traditional to value land at ten times its annual yield , and most of the rebels were subsequently fined at half of this amount : five times the annual yield of their lands .
