“La Marche, Olivier de”的意思、由来-百科全书

La Marche, Olivier de

Burgundian author

born c. 1425, , Villegaudin, Burgundy

died Feb. 1, 1502, Brussels

Burgundian chronicler and poet who, as historian of the ducal court, was an eloquent spokesman of the chivalrous tradition.

After serving as a page to Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy, La Marche entered the service of the Duke's son, the count of Charolais (later called Charles the Bold). He became Charles's secretary and remained in Burgundian service all his life, representing Charles on many diplomatic missions throughout Europe. After Charles was killed at Nancy in 1477, La Marche continued to serve the Duke's heiress, Mary, and her husband, the Austrian archduke Maximilian.

La Marche's writings, the most important of which was L'État de la maison du duc Charles de Bourgogne (1474; “The State of the House of Charles, Duke of Burgundy”), for the most part glorify the House of Burgundy. His Mémoires, two books covering the periods 1435–67 and 1467–88, were completed about 1490. Though written with charm and liveliness, they are unreliable as history because La Marche makes mistakes in chronology and was too resolutely devoted to the House of Burgundy to be objective, especially in his judgments on French policy.
