Biography
Other events that date Jacques are a reference to the Battle of Mansurah in 1250 in one of his songs and a reference in an envoi of Thomas Herier to "Jakemon" at "Cyson", probably in the third quarter of the century. All of Jacques's musical compositions are in ABABx form and are preserved in only a few manuscripts, but one, Nouvele amour, exists in eight different versions, including two contrafacta. The popularity of this one piece is probably explained by its rondeau form, though the original text is not a rondeau. Jacques's song Quant la saisons is a chanson avec des refrains in which each of the eight stanzas has a different refrain and some of these refrains are found in other songs.
The recorded working language is French.
