Yvain de Leschielle, natural son of Gaston Fébus, played an important role in Béarn after the death of his father. He died during the famous Bal des Ardents episode in January 1393.
Gaston III, count of Foix, known as Fébus (1331 - 1391), son of Gaston II of Foix and Aliénor de Comminges, whose court the chronicler visited in 1388. Gaston was born in 1331 and succeeded his father in 1343. On 4th August 1348 he married Agnès de Navarre, the daughter of Philippe, count of Évreux and of Jeanne, queen of Navarre, who herself was the daughter of Louis X of France known as the Quarreller, the Headstrong or the Stubborn. Gaston died in 1391. He was the author of a celebrated treatise on hunting entitled Livre de chasse, or the Book of the hunt.
Gaston, the eighteen-year-old son and legitimate heir of Fébus and Agnès de Navarre, died tragically in the first fortnight of August 1380, according to Tucoo-Chala, Catalogue..., p. 14: 'It appears to have been part of a wide-ranging political conspiracy against Fébus, in which certain discontented Béarnais nobles may have been implicated' (tr. PFA). The chronicler here takes charge of the narrative once again, the better to have the last word about what may have transpired.

The Parlement of Paris grew out of the French curia Regis from the middle years of the thirteenth century to administer justice with powers delegated to it by the king. As such it became a sovereign court, with its seat close to the royal palace in the nation’s capital. Meeting regularly, it dispensed justice to cases heard on appeal from local courts and, in a few instances, cases considered in first instance. Later, in the fifteenth century, a number of other courts with similar powers were established in major provincial centres.

The presence of a president of one of the chambers of the Parisian parlement, the ‘high court’ of France, confirms the serious intent behind the king of France's sovereign claims in this region.
