The author, seigneur du Haillan, historiographer of France, was the first national historian to abandon the chronicler style.
This work, containing "De l'état du succès des affaires de France" and a "Recueil d'avis et conseils sur les affaires d'État tiré des vies de Plutarque", earned him the protection of the Duc d'Anjou, who made him his financial secretary.
