Bertrandon de la Broquière (aka Brocquiere, c. 1400-1459) was a Burgundian spy and pilgrim to the Middle East in the years 143233. He wrote at the request of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, for the purpose of facilitating a new crusade. La Brocquiere's pilgrimage to Jerusalem enabled him to write this account of relations between the Turks, Greeks and Latins at the time.
Thomas Johnes (1748 1816), who was well-known as a translator of Froissart and was a member of the Society of Dilettanti and cousin of Richard Payne Knight, also translated this work which was printed at his private press in the grounds of his estate at Hafod in Cardiganshire.
