Jehan (or Jean) de Waurin (or Wavrin) (Born near 1398, died near 1474) was a French soldier, chronicler and compiler. He belonged to a noble family of Artois, and witnessed the battle of Agincourt from the French side, but later fought on the Anglo-Burgundian side in the later stages of the Hundred Years' War. As a historian he put together the first chronicle intended as a complete history of England, very extensive but largely undigested and uncritical.[1]
