He served in the court of Mathieu de Nanterre, Duke John II of Bourbon.
He is known only by his work Recueil des plus célèbres astrologues et quelques hommes doctes[1] written to appeal against allegations of sorcery made against him.
He studied under Conrad Heingarter, travelled to England, Scotland and Ireland before returning to France.
After 1488 he settled in Lyons where he raised a family and established a large library and continued to provide astrological services.
These include notes on a comet of 1402 that he called Verru, the teaching of medicine and astrology in France and numerous other aspects of the period.
