 FOXNews.com - N.C. Bar Files Charges Against Duke D.A.
In a statement, the bar said it opened a case against Nifong on March 30, a little more than two weeks after a 28-year-old woman hired to perform as a stripper at a lacrosse team party said she was gang-raped.
The bar cited 41 quotations and eight paraphrased statements made to newspaper and TV reporters, saying many of them amounted to "improper commentary about the character, credibility and reputation of the accused" or their alleged unwillingness to cooperate.
According to the bar, Nifong knew that assertion was misleading, because he had received a report from an emergency room nurse in which the accuser said her attackers did not use a condom.

The increases at Duke and Emory follow similar moves by a number of prominent schools that say they are raising prices to keep up with the rising demand from their students for financial aid.
By contrast, because Duke's endowment is much smaller -- at $3.3 billion -- it is forced to dip into its operating funds for much of its financial aid.
Duke is even launching a fund-raising drive in the fall to increase the number of endowed scholarship gifts it receives, which is now about 50 a year.

The Duke of Bar was Pierre de Bourlemont's overlord (probably via one or more intermediate lords whose names I do not know), and the Duke may also have directly controlled the summit of the hill mentioned above.
The other side of the river was part of the Duchy of Lorraine, presumably meaning that the houses on that side were ultimately under the overlordship of Duke Charles II de Lorraine, who was also the overlord of the Duke of Bar.
The river valley itself was apparently part of the Provostry of Montéclaire-Andelot, which was subject to the Count of Champagne; and (if I'm not mistaken) the title to Champagne was then held directly by the French Crown (or what passed for it during this period).
