Jean de Wavrin, a chronicler between Burgundy and England, and the
attitude of Burgundian chroniclers to the Wars of the Roses.
Jean de Wavrin (ca 1400-ca 1472/5), who was a chronicler under Philip and
Charles, Dukes of Burgundy, wrote a History of England in six volumes, the last part
of which shows a definite bias for the Yorkists and the man who led them, King
Edward IV. It can be argued that the brother to the Queen of England, Anthony
Woodville, served as a link between the English monarch and the chronicler from
Burgundy: this link may have been made at a tournament in England in 1467, when
Woodville fought Anthony of Burgundy (the Great Bastard), who happened to travel
with Wavrin. When analysed and compared with works produced by other writers
at this time, Wavrin's chronicle emerges as the main source of information on the War
of the Roses for contemporary readers in Burgundy. This is mainly due to the details
included in the text and to the large number of manuscripts that have survived. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
