I'm a knight during the Hundred Years War and a lord who far outranks me has surrendered to me in battle. What do I do with him?

Let's say I'm an English knight in the employ of Henry of Grosmont, duke of Lancaster. The figure who's surrendered to me is a French count. How does the ransom process work? Do I negotiate the French lord's ransom directly with him? Or do I surrender him to my lord Lancaster for a "finders fee?"
