Commentary
Salins-les-Bains, à 29 kilomètres au nord-est de Poligny, possède d’importantes sources de salines déjà exploitées sous les Romains et qui ont valu ce nom à la ville. Salins sera française de 1477 à 1492 puis réunie à la France en 1674 après sa prise par le maréchal de la Feuillade et cédée définitivement à la France par le traité de Nimègue.

Historical background
BURGUNDY (COUNTY OF)
In 1477, on the death of Charles the Bold, the Duchy of Burgundy was dismantled between France, which recovered Burgundy proper, and the House of Habsburg, which recovered Franche-Comté or County of Burgundy. In 1548 the county of Burgundy passed to the Spanish branch of the Habsburgs and was incorporated into the circle of Burgundy (with Luxembourg, Brabant, Hainaut, Flanders, etc.). Louis XIV seized the County of Burgundy in 1668 but had to return it during the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle. He was to reconquer this county in 1674 and the possession was confirmed in 1678 by the Treaty of Nijmegen.
