Martin le Franc c. 1410 &ndash 1461 was a France French poet of the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance . He was born in Normandy , and studied in Paris . He entered clerical orders, becoming an prothonotary apostolic prothonotary , and later becoming secretary to both Antipope Felix V and Pope Nicholas V . He was named provost at Lausanne in 1443, became canon of the Church of Geneva in 1447. In 1451 he was employed by the Duke of Savoy , and he became administrator of the abbey of Noval se in 1459. Le Franc s most famous work was his huge, 24,000 verse composition Le Champion des Dames The Champion of Women , dedicated to Philip the Good and dating from 1440 or 1442 first printed in Lyon in 1485 and again in Paris in 1530 . It recounts the nobility and deeds of many women throughout history, including Joan of Arc , and also fiercely attacks corruption in government as well as the hedonistic luxury of the aristocratic class. It was Illuminated manuscript illuminated by Peronet Lamy . Martin le Franc is famous in music history for penning the phrase la contenance angloise , the English countenance, a much debated phrase referring to a characteristically English sound found in the music of composers such as John Dunstable . The countenance &mdash probably consonant, sweet sounds which were predominant in the music of contemporary English composers &mdash was massively influential on the music of the Burgundian School during the period that Burgundy was allied with England. Another long poem by Le Franc is L Estrif de Fortune et Vertu 1447 1448 , which was also moralistic and didactic, presenting a debate between Fortune and Virtue. Bibliography Le Franc, Martin.
