Jean de Baudricourt began his career in the service of Duke John II of Lorraine, as captain.
In 1477, Louis XI sent de Baudricourt three times as ambassador to the Swiss cantons: the troops he raised allowed Burgundy to be kept under royal control.

[6] At the end of the reign of Louis XI, de Baudricourt was one of the King's closest advisors.
