Olivier de La Marche's name is inextricably linked with the exaltation of the knightly idea and the glorification of the Burgundian court. He grew up at the court of the Burgundian dukes and went through the entire service staircase, starting with a page of the stable and ending with the first hofmeister and captain of the guard. Organizing the daily life of the court for thirty years, Olivier de La Marsh thoroughly studied it and reflected it in his works.
