EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Jean Dunois, Comte d'Orleans et de Longueville, Bastard of Orleans (1402-1468) Jean Dunois, Comte d'Orleans et de Longueville, also known as the Bastard of Orleans, was a prominent French nobleman and chamberlain during the late Middle Ages. Born in 1402, he was the illegitimate son of Louis I, Duke of Orléans, and his mistress, Isabelle de Bavière. Despite his bastard status, Jean rose to great power and influence under the reign of King Charles VII of France. This striking handcoloured lithograph by Leopold Massard is based on a portrait in oil from Roger de Gaignières portfolio VII 9, as published in the historical costumes collection "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix, in 1852. The image captures the distinguished appearance of Jean Dunois, with his piercing gaze, well-groomed beard, and elegant attire. Jean Dunois held several important positions throughout his life, including the role of chamberlain to King Charles VII, governor of Normandy, and admiral of France. He was a key figure in the Hundred Years' War and played a significant role in the Battle of Formigny in 1450, which marked a turning point in the conflict between France and England. Despite his military accomplishments, Jean Dunois is perhaps best known for his patronage of the arts and letters. He supported the renowned poet Charles, Duke of Orléans, and was a generous benefactor to the Abbey of Saint-Denis, where he was buried after his death in 1468. This beautiful lithograph serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Jean Dunois, a bastard of Orleans who rose to become a powerful and influential figure in late medieval France.
