Jean de Montreuil, French Statesman

Jean de Montreuil (1354 - May 29, 1418) was a French statesman, humanist writer and politician. He studied at the College of Navarre of the University of Paris. In 1384 he travelled to Tuscany and discovered the works of Petrarch and Boccaccio. He became secretary of King Charles VI to 1390. He was among the first to invoke Salic Law as a reasoning against female succession to the throne. He used its implications to argue against the claims of Henry IV of England, who was also patron of Christine de Pizan, the female scholar with whom Montreuil often debated over the proper conduct and role of women in the monarchy and society in general. His work consists mainly of a collection of some 220 ??private letters, all un-inscribed, written in Latin, never published in his lifetime, and two treaties of political propaganda written in the context of the Hundred Years War. He was assassinated in Paris in 1418 during the taking of the city by the Burgundians.
