Jean le Sauvage
Jean le Sauvage (* 1455 in Bruges , † 1518 in Saragossa ) was an advisor to Charles V , Lord Chancellor of the Duchy of Brabant and owner of a tapestry factory in Bruges.
Life
His tapestry in Bruges produced three tapestries for the l'église de Saint-Anathole between 1502 and 1505, which are now in the Louvre .
On May 4, 1508, Jean le Sauvage was named, along with other gentlemen from Escobecques, as the debtor of the contractual penalty in the marriage contract for the proxy marriage of Archduke Charles with Mary Tudor .
On January 5, 1515 - the day on which he was prematurely declared of age as Duke of Burgundy - Charles V appointed his tutor, Guillaume II. De Croÿ, to be the leading minister and on the following day he compelled the previous regent Margaret of Austria to do so official abdication. Since then, Chièvres has led together with Adrian von Utrecht, later Pope Hadrian VI. , and Jean de Sauvages the political affairs in the "lower lands" of Burgundy .
Sauvage hired Erasmus of Rotterdam to act as advisor to 15-year-old Charles V. Erasmus had the courage to reveal what was hidden behind the war: not courage and greatness, but ambition, stupidity and greed. War is the scourge of states, the grave of justice, laws that are silent under arms.
He became Chancellor of Burgundy in 1515 and Chancellor of Castile on January 17, 1516.
On the one hand, it is reported that after the death of Jean Sauvage in 1518, Mercurino Arborio di Gattinara rushed to the court to become Charles V's new adviser and chancellor. On the other hand, Jean le Sauvage is said to have been ambassador to Henry VIII in 1520 and 1525 .
