Comment: "I liked Wolf's suggestions for rewording, but since I was really asking just about the meaning of the phrase, and Tony answered much sooner, I am awarding the points to him. Thanks to both of you!"

Rephrase the sentence
The answers given so far (and Asker's own suggestion) work fine with the FR structure, but I would rewrite the entire sentence, context and register permitting.
X's claim of usurpation by Jayavarman IV, which is contested by Y, is relative.
X's claim of usurpation by Jayavarman IV, contested by Y, is debatable / a matter of perspective.
The notion of usurpation by Jayarvaman IV, as advanced by X and contested by Y, is relative / etc.
Jayarvaman IV's portrayal by X as an usurper, contested by Y, is relative / etc.
The idea that Jayarvaman IV usurped the throne, as put forward by X and contested by Y, is relative / etc.
And so on :-)

Hello,
I might word it all like this.
à l'adresse de = in addressing (might be closer to the French here than "concerning", although not wrong). The idea is that when discussing king, the notion that he was an usurper is raised by X and countered by Y.
I hope this helps.
