Jean Budé

Jean Budé (1425 - Paris, 28 February 1500 or 1501)[1] was a royal counselor of Louis XI, man of letters, and a bibliophile with an exceptionally rich library.[2] While in the service of the king, Jean was sent to Burgundy shortly after the death of Charles the Bold on 5 January 1477. He delivered confirmation of the privileges of the city of Dijon.[3]

In 1464 he married Catherine Picart (died 1506).[4] Their children included Guillaume Budé (1467–1540), the celebrated humanist, and Louis Budé, canon of the cathedral chapter of Troyes and later archdeacon there.
