The earl of Salisbury was concerned, both directly and indirectly, in several suits before the Parlement. This one, which records an attempt to regain certain legitimate profits of war which he was being denied, involved him in a dispute with the duke of Burgundy. Salisbury claimed that the king had granted him the lands of La Rivière in the county of Nevers, but the countess of Nevers had denied him possession. Since she had been married to Philip, duke of Burgundy, the duke, as the survivor of the marriage, was brought into the case which was extended to include the custody and wardship of her children by her first marriage to the duke's uncle, Philippe, count of Nevers. The count of Joigny and Sir Claude Chastellux who, likewise, refused to hand over land, were also involved.
