The "jus" did not completely lack support, however. Charles I of Sicily used it, Philip III of France legislated regulations to cover it, and in the same kingdom Henry II seems to have tolerated it. In his reign, according to "De republica" by Jean Bodin, the "jus" was cited by Anne de Montmorency to justify the seizure of a wrecked ship with the support of the king.
