Liédet was a prolific artist coming from Hesdin in Artois. Between 1454 and 1460 he worked in Hesdin where he produced 55 thumbnails for La Fleur des Histoires by Jean Mansel, commissioned by Philip the Good of the House of Valois-Burgundy. He also illustrated Royal Library of Belgium MS 9967, a copy of Jehan Wauquelin's edition of La Belle Hélène de Constantinople and 20 miniatures for Mystère de la Vengeance de Nostre Seigneur Ihesu Crist (Mystery of The Vengeance of Our Lord Jesus Christ) by Eustache Marcadé for Philip, now in the British Library. He also did some work for Charles the Bold. In his early work, he was influenced by Simon Marmion. After 1467 he was found in Bruges, where he was a member of the Guild of Saint Luke listed as an illuminator. In all probability he continued to work in Bruges until 1479. Liédet was long thought to have died around 1479, the date of the last mention of him in the archives of Bruges. However recent research by Dominique Vanwijnsberghe in the archives of Lille shows that Liédet and his brother Huchon (or Husson) were still listed in the archives of that city in 1483 and 1484. • Illustration — The Whore of Babylon Dresses the Part, c. 1470, Epistolary and Apocalypse of Charles the Bold • Illustration — The Fifth Angel Sounding the Trumpet, c. 1470, Epistolary and Apocalypse of Charles the Bold • Illustration — The Abduction of Ydoire, 1467–1472 • Illustration — The Battle before Roussillon's Castle, 1467–1472 • Illustration — St Hubert of Liège offers his services to Pepin of Heristal, made in 1463 for Philip the Good Duke of Burgundy • Illustration — Assassination of Étienne Marcel in 1358, from Jean Froissart, Chroniques, Flandre, Bruges, XVe s., folio 230, recto (BNF, ms.
