	Philippe de Commines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Philippe de Commines (or de Commynes or "Philip de Comines") (1447-1511) was a French-speaking Fleming in the courts of Burgundy and France, a diplomat, and a writer, and he has been called "the first truly modern writer" (Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve) and "the first critical and philosophical historian since classical times" (Oxford Companion to English Literature).
		Commines was born at Renescure, Flanders, to an outwardly wealthy family.
		Commines was a great favorite with Duke Charles for seven years (going back to when he had still been Count of Charolais).

	PHILIPPE DE COMMINES - LoveToKnow Article on PHILIPPE DE COMMINES
		On the death of Louis in 1483 a suit was commenced against Commines by the family of La Trmoille, and he was cast in heavy damages.
		Sainte-Beuve, after speaking of Commines as being in date the first truly modern writer, and comparing him with Montaigne, says that his history remains the definitive history of his time, and that from it all political history took its rise.
		Various translations of Commines into English have appeared, from that of T. Danett in 1596 to that, based on the Dupont edition, which was printed in Bohns series in 1855.

	The Catholic Encyclopedia - Philippe de Commines (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In 1464 Commines was presented at the court of the Duke of Burgundy in Lille and became squire to the duke's son, the Count of Charolais, afterwards Charles the Bold.
		Commines is rather analytic than graphic, devotes himself more to ascertaining the causes of events than to describing the events themselves; his language seems inferior to his thought and his style is abrupt and periphrastic.
		Commines' tomb, on which is a kneeling figure of him and also one of his wife, Hélène de Chambes, is preserved in the Louvre.

		The first three bays (starting from the sanctuary) must have been constructed during the episcopate of Jean Bernard (1441-1446 or 1448), since the arms of this archbishop of Tours are on the keystone of the vault of the third bay.
		The last two bays and the portal date from the period of Philippe de Commines, who was governor of Chinon from 1477 until 1483.
		This is why the upper part of the window represents the Holy Trinity: God the Farmer holding in his hand the scepter of sovereignty and the terrestrial globe; Christ seated rather than standing, with the Cross; and the Holy Spirit, shown as a dove emitting rays of light.

		This want of unanimity was the reason why the answer to Commines was deferred until the following day, and why it was settled that on the next day he should hold another conference with a plenipotentiary to be appointed in the course of that night.
		When, however, M. de Guise and M. de la Trimouille found themselves pressed in this way, they ordered their two hundred men-at-arms to turn right about face, while at the opposite end-that is, at the head of the army-Marechal de Gie and Trivulce ordered a halt and lances in rest.
		Things were going still better, for the van, which the Marquis de Cajazzo was to attack; for although he had at first appeared to be animated with a terrible purpose, he stopped short about ten or twelve feet from the French line and turned right about face without breaking a single lance.

		His ministerial career, however, was short-lived; he made the mistake of appointing to the governorship of Limburg P. de Decker, a former minister whose name had been connected with a financial failure (see BELGIUM) and was compelled to resign.

		The Croyland Chronicle, Dominic Mancini, and Philippe de Commines all state that the rumour of the princes' death was current in England by the end of 1483.
		In his summary of the events of 1483, Commines says quite categorically that Richard was responsible for the murder of the princes, but of course he had been present at the meeting of the Estates-General of France in January 1484, when the statement was taken at face value.
		The other two sources do not suggest who was responsible.
