 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Parvus
The Duke of Orléans was unpopular with the people and was held responsible for the disorders and the taxations under which the kingdom groaned, during the madness of the king, his brother.
The Duke of Burgundy, on the contrary, was very popular; he was regarded as a friend of the commoners and an opponent of taxation and abuses, while the university was grateful to him for his lack of sympathy with the Avignon pope.
The Duke of Burgundy replied by a letter in which, while disavowing the general principles that formed the major proposition of the argument of John Parvus, he maintained that the propositions condemned by the Bishop of Paris were not contained in the discourse.

This is a study of the influence of medieval canon law as reflected in the working of the papal judicial administration in Canterbury between the accession of Pope Innocent III in 1198 and the death of Innocent IV in 1254.
Sayers begins with an account of the origins and development of the judicial structure and goes on to examine in detail the procedure of the local courts, the personnel, the business of courts and litigants, and the effectiveness of the system.
Jones looks in particular at how John's upbringing in England and early dependence upon Edward III affected his policies towards both England and his legal sovereigns in France once he became Duke.

Unfortunately, Robertson's reading of the poem, and his understanding of John of Gaunt, is imbued with a piety supported by neither contemporary accounts of the duke nor the social environment of the court as reflected in its literary tastes.
The book's lack of interest in teaching is striking, and nowhere in Fish's account of the profession of literary critic and scholar, either here or elsewhere, is any serious consideration given to the idea that the profession should be thought of as providing a service, either to students or to society as a whole.
