The son of a secretary to Charles VII, he was twice sent to England with
Guillaume Cousinot de Montreuil before becoming secretary to the king, then conseiller and
maître des comptes,
contrôleur de la recette générale des finances and finally treasurer of France (1452). Chevalier,
Jacques Cœur and the doctor Robert Poitevin were made executors of the king's favourite
Agnès Sorel, probably the model for the Virgin Mary in the second panel of the Melun Diptych. ==Sources==
