Jean de Baudricourt was a French Grand Officer Royal and a marshal of France born in 1435 CE. He was the son of Robert de Baudricourt and Arlearde de Chambley. He died in Blois on 11 May 1499.
Early careeredit
Jean de Baudricourt began his career in the service of Duke John II of Lorraine, as captain. Alongside the Duke, he rallied the rebellion of the League of the Public Good, led by the son of the Count of Charolais, Duke of Burgundy. After the battle of Montlhery and the Peace of Conflans, he embraced the King's party, as did the Duke of Lorraine. He then became a royal officer, first a captain of men-at-arms and then a bailiff.
In 1477, Louis XI sent de Baudricourt three times as ambassador to the Swiss cantons: the troops he raised allowed Burgundy to be kept under royal control.[2]
The king then appointed him governor of Burgundy (1481-1499), captain of Besancon and Governor of Champagne (March 1482-November 1483).[5] Louis XI then sent him to war with Maximilian of Austria on the front of the Netherlands. Captain of Arras from 1479 to 1482, he negotiated the treaty of Arras of 1482.[6]
At the end of the reign of Louis XI, de Baudricourt was one of the King's closest advisors.
