When Hesdin was taken, M. de Vaudeville sent the news of it to him and to the other prisoners, and the list of the killed, and among them M. de Martigues: and when M. de Baugé heard with his own ears his brother was dead, he fell to crying, weeping, and lamentation.

Hesdin had probably not viewed it as such, since his first purpose was to strengthen the hand of those who were urging Pope Urban's return to Avignon.
Furthermore Hesdin misconstrued Petrarch's criticisms, for he listed writers who had (or so he thought) been born in France, a point which is really irrelevant, as Petrarch pointed out, to a definiti on of specifically french culture.
Similarly Hesdin's defense of the University of Paris is a sense of pride in a possession of the French king; he does not claim that there is anything else specially "French" about it (and Petrarch wryly denies that ther e is).

 Pseudo-Jacquemart de Hesdin (Getty Museum)
The artist called the Pseudo-Jacquemart de Hesdin most likely worked at the court of Jean, duc de Berry from around 1380 until about 1410.
He worked with many of the leading illuminators at the courts of France, but his style so closely reflects that of the Flemish artist Jacquemart de Hesdin that scholars have named him the Pseudo-Jacquemart.
These two artists probably worked together on some of the most famous manuscripts commissioned by Jean de Berry, with the Pseudo-Jacquemart often illuminating less important sections, such as calendar pages and marginal scenes.
