The Kings of Brittany and Savoy have sought support from the Pope that you be recognized as King of Burgundy, but that you in turn renounce any claims upon the French cown and the lands west of the Seine."

desc = "Phillipe le Bon's principle concern was unifying his realm. The Pope's
imprimatur was certainly a formidable start to widespread acceptance of his new
kingdom, but the Rebellion of the Rhone Lords had illustrated how tenuous was the
loyalty of many French nobles to the idea of a 'Burgundy'. Phillip had been
tutored to reign and his studies under the erudite and progressive Ermands
d'Alsace included key philosophical tracts and a study of history. Phillip was
especially struck by the improtance of the magna carta and the value in
establishing a framework for responsibilities and roles within the kingdom.
Phillip debated the issues at length during his early years as king, bringing in
to his court masters from the Italian universities, specialists in religious and
common law and notable speakers, including Gilles des Rochers and Jean
Ganichaud. From this Phillip developed a new legal system for the Kingdom which
became known as Phillipean Law. 'La Code phillipeenne' was notably the first
European system that granted certain radical (if limited) rights of redress by
commoners against the nobility, and of the nobles against the king."

The structures of ownership and priviledge that undermined the faith of common
folk in the church and would one day lead to Luther's successful protest were
deeply entrenched in Burgundy, as in the rest of Europe. In addition to being a
reforming administrator, Phillip had also become an active contributor to the
theological debates of the day. Phillip believed strongly that the Church needed
to respond to the excesses of its members and made strong moves to have members
of the clergy covered by his civil law, instead of church law. Eschewing debate
with Roman authorities, he engaged with the notoriously corrupt Bishop of Besançon"
