Enguerrand de Monstrelet in Cambrai, France

myminifactory

This sculpture depicts Enguerrand de Monstrelet, a renowned French chronicler who hailed from Picardy, likely born into a family of modest nobility. By 1436 and later, he held the influential position of lieutenant to the gavener at Cambrai, establishing the city as his primary residence. As bailiff of the cathedral chapter and provost of Cambrai, Monstrelet wielded significant power. His own writings, chronicling the latter stages of the Hundred Years' War, are invaluable due to their abundant inclusion of genuine documents and likely accurate speeches.
