Georges de La Trémoille

He sought reconciliation between Philip, Duke of Burgundy and Charles VII during their estrangement in the latter part of the Hundred Years' War and was a political opponent of Arthur de Richemont within the French court.

[1] Most historians take a poor view of his career and assess that he placed personal advancement before the public interest, but the traditional historical interpretation of the Grand Chamberlain as Joan of Arc's opponent has been revised.

He gained the title of Grand Chamberlain and was instrumental in Constable de Richemont's expulsion from the court that same year.

After Joan of Arc's successful campaign to Rheims for the coronation of Charles VII, de la Trémoille delayed a march on Paris with fruitless peace negotiations.

The historical consensus is that personal jealousies led him to undermine France's two best military commanders during a low point in the war.
