Abstract

The murder of Louis, duke of Orléans, in November 1407 was the starting point of a bitter feud between the two great rival houses of the kingdom of France, the Armagnacs and the Burgundians. This was no random killing and had been engineered by John, duke of Burgundy. Once the deed was done, this mighty vassal of Charles VI, the mad king of France, had to find someone good enough for his defence. Master Jean Petit, a member of the University of Paris, devised and delivered the Justification of the Duke of Burgundy, a well-known speech, with all the attributes and technical characteristics of a medieval sermon, which barely, even at that time, managed to justify the unjustifiable.
