Mémoire … contre Messire Jean-Baptiste comte de Castelanne, colonel du Régiment d’Eu, infanterie.
Two seemingly unrecorded legal documents relating to an extended dispute between the Sieur de Bandol and the Comte de Castelanne over tuna-fishing rights in the Mediterranean.
The dispute concerns the exclusive right to fish tuna with nets in the Gulf of Grimaud, between Nice and Marseille, granted to the sieur de Bandol in perpetuity by Henri IV in 1603 but challenged in 1752 by the Comte de Castelanne, claiming his own right to it as part of the barony of Grimaud as created by René of Anjou in 1441. The two documents prepared for the Sieur de Bandol argue that Castelanne’s rights extend only to inland waters and not to coastal fishing.
