French chronicler and politician. Born into a Flemish townsman and aristocrat. At the age of 17, he served the Duke of Burgundy, but was captivated by King Louis XI of France, and in 1472, he left Charles le Temeraire (Charles the Brave) and joined the French court. He was on good terms with Louis XI and was highly valued by him. After Louis' death, he clashed with the regent Anne de Beaujeu (1461-1522) and was briefly imprisoned, but was summoned by Charles VIII in 1493 and played an active role as a diplomat. He served in the Italian Wars under Louis XII. His Memoirs , eight volumes (written between 1489 and 1498), record the achievements of Louis XI and Charles VIII (1464-1498), but the sections up to the sixth volume (published in 1524), which describe King Louis' political skills, are particularly outstanding, and he has been praised as "the first truly modern writer" (Sainte-Beuve).

フランスの年代記作家、政治家。フランドルの町人貴族の出身。17歳でブルゴーニュ公家に仕えたが、フランス王ルイ11世に魅せられ、1472年ブルゴーニュ公シャルル・ル・テメレール(シャルル勇胆王)のもとを離れ、フランス宮廷に鞍(くら)替えした。ルイ11世とは気心が通じ重用される。その死後、摂政(せっしょう)アンヌ・ド・ボージュAnne de Beaujeu(1461―1522)と対立し一時投獄されたが、1493年シャルル8世に召喚され、外交官として活躍。ルイ12世のもとではイタリア戦争に従軍した。その『回想録』Mémoires8巻(1489~1498執筆)は、ルイ11世とシャルル8世の事績(1464~1498)を記すが、6巻までのルイ王の政治手腕を述べた部分(1524刊)が優れ、「真に近代的な最初の著述家」(サント・ブーブ)と評される。 [安斎和雄] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
