Commentary

Ce double tournois copie les doubles tournois royaux de Philippe VI. Jean II de Chalon-Auxerre fit frapper illégalement des monnaies à Orgelet ce qui lui valut d'être excommunier par l'archevêque de Besançon.
This double tournament copies the double royal tournaments of Philip VI. John II of Chalon-Auxerre had coins illegally minted in Orgelet, which earned him excommunication from the Archbishop of Besançon.
