Jacques Coeur: The French Argonaut And His Times is a historical biography written by Louisa Stuart Costello and first published in 1847. The book tells the story of Jacques Coeur, a 15th-century French merchant and financier who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in France. Coeur’s life is a fascinating tale of adventure, ambition, and political intrigue, and Costello’s vivid and engaging prose brings it to life in vivid detail. In addition to chronicling Coeur’s rise to power, the book also explores the social and political context of his times, including the Hundred Years’ War, the rise of the Burgundian dynasty, and the court of Charles VII. Overall, Jacques Coeur: The French Argonaut And His Times is a rich and compelling portrait of a remarkable figure in French history, and a fascinating window into the world of medieval Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
