Augustijnken

Augustijnken is sometimes called van Dordt, i.e., from Dordrecht, based on two manuscripts of his Vanden scepe.

In 1362 and 1363, he accompanied John on crusade in Prussia, during which he was injured in a bar fight and got in some legal trouble.

Official records refer to him as a "storyteller", that is, a paid entertainer for the troops.

Four of his pieces are found in multiple manuscripts, but three survive in single copies.

[11] Augustijnken is usually treated as a "lesser colleague" of his near-contemporary, Willem van Hildegaersberch [nl].
