About the author
Marcel Thibault was a French historian who lived from 1874 to 1908. Sources found during this search identify him as an archivist-paleographer, and his surviving books focus on figures from French medieval history.
His best-known works include Isabeau de Bavière, reine de France. La jeunesse, 1370-1405 (published in 1903) and La jeunesse de Louis XI, 1423-1445 (published in 1907). Contemporary catalog and authority records connect him especially with careful historical studies centered on royal biography and the politics of the French court.
He died young, in 1908, which helps explain why his bibliography is fairly small. Even so, the books that remain suggest a writer interested in bringing the personalities and power struggles of medieval France to life for modern readers.
