David of Burgundy, illegitimate son of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy had been appointed as bishop of Utrecht in 1456 with support of the Cods.
The Utrecht chapters, however, had elected the Hook-favoured provost Gijsbrecht van Brederode as bishop.
But Philip the Good used force to make David's appointment be accepted.
Nevertheless, opposition against his rule remained, and David of Burgundy even found it safer to leave the city of Utrecht and take up residence in Wijk bij Duurstede.
The status quo returned, until the Utrecht war of 1481–83 broke out.
