“The king is willing to make reparation, but expects the same
on the part of the duke.”
30. The king is desired to prohibit the Bailiff of Gens for
the future to receive appeals, and to grant relief in cases of
appeals by the subjects of the duchy of Burgundy; forasmuch
as that duchy is the first peerage of France, and therefore
the duke and his subjects ought to appeal nowhere but to the
parliament, if they think fit.
“The king agrees to this article.”
31. The bailiff, judges and officers of the said duke in that
duchy, ought not for the future to be hindered from taking
cognizance of the subjects of the said duchy, under pretence
that they are burghers of Ville-neuve-le-Roy; and the Bailiff
of Gens and all others should be forbidden to grant protections
to the subjects of the said duke in his duchy, under pretence
of that burghership.
“The king agrees also to this.”
32. The king is desired to grant letters patent, and in them
to declare that all executions made by virtue of the seal of
the said duchy, shall take place according and pursuant to the
privileges of the said seal, and notwithstanding any appeals,
and without prejudicing the same.
“The king agrees to this article.”
33. All complaints made in respect to innovations, which shall
be exhibited by the said duke in his said duchy and his other
territories, or by the judges of those countries who may
and are wont to offer those complaints, ought really to be
redressed, notwithstanding any appeals, &c.
“This the king allows of.”
