Title: Reginae christianissimae iura in ducatum Brabantiae, et alios ditionis Hispanicae principatus.
Description: (Paris, Imprimerie Royale), 1667. 4to. [v], 293 pp. Full mottled calf (bottom of spine sl.damaged; some auction notes glued on pastedown, two leaves detached) FRANSE AANSPRAAK OP DE ZUIDELIJKE NEDERLANDEN. "Bilain (Antoine), jurisconsulte, né à Fismes, près de Reims; mort à Paris en 1672. (...) fut chargé d'établir les droits de la reine Marie-Thérèse sur les Pays-Bas et la Franche-Comté. Il publia sur ce sujet, en 1667, un traité qui a été traduit en latin et dans presque toutes les langues de l'Europe." (NBG.VI/65). Maria Theresa, dochter van Philips IV van Spanje, trouwde in 1659 met Lodewijk XIV, en deed daarbij afstand van rechten op de Spaanse troon onder conditie van betaling van 500.000 écus door Spanje aan de Franse koning. "The War of Devolution did not focus on the payment of the dowry. Rather, Louis's pretext for war was the "devolution" of land. In Brabant, children of first marriages traditionally were not disadvantaged by their parents’ remarriages and still inherited property. Louis's wife was Philip IV's daughter by his first marriage, while the new King of Spain, Charles II, was his son by a subsequent marriage. Thus, Brabant allegedly "devolved" on Maria Theresa. This excuse led to France's attack on the Spanish Netherlands." (Wikipedia). De Devolutie-oorlog (1667-1668) eindigde met de Vrede van Aken, waarbij Lodewijk XIV afstand deed van zijn aanspraken op de Zuidelijke Nederlanden.
