WAURIN (or WAVRIN), JEHAN (or JEAN DE) (d. c. 1474)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 424 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WAT-WIL
WAURIN (or WAVRIN), JEHAN (or JEAN DE) (d. c. 1474) , French chronicler, belonged to a noble family of
Artois
 , and was present at the battle of Agincourt. Afterwards he fought for
the Burgundians at Verneuil and elsewhere, and then occupying a high position at the court of Philip the Good, duke of
Burgundy
 , was sent as
ambassador
  to Rome in 1463. Jehan wrote, or rather
compiled, the Recueil des croniques et anchiennes istories de la Grant Bretaigne, a collection of the sources of English history from the earliest times to 1471. For this
work
  he borrowed from Froissart, Monstrelet and others; but for the period between 1444 and 1471 the Recueil is
original
  and valuable, although somewhat untrustworthy with regard to affairs in England itself.
From the beginning to 688 and again from 1399 to 1471 the text has been edited for the Rolls
Series
  (5 vols., London, 1864-1891), by W. and E. L. C. P.
Hardy
 , who have also translated the greater
part
  of it into English. The section from 1325 to 1471 has been edited by L. M. E. Dupont (Paris, 18581863).
