Jacques de Guyse (Latin: Iacobus de Guisia) (1334−1399) was a Franciscan monk and historian of the late 14th century.

Life

He was born in 1334 in Mons and died in 1399 in Valenciennes.

Work

After studying in Paris, where he obtained a doctorate in theology, he returned to the Hainaut.

His main work is the wide ranging Annales Historiae Illustrium Principum Hannoniae in which he covered the history of the County of Hainaut from its mythological beginnings to the year 1254.^[1]

Initially this work did not get much attention, but half a century later it was translated from Latin to French by Jean Wauquelin and was richly illuminated.
