LOUIS GEORGES OUDARD FEUDRIX DE (1714–1795) , See also:French See also:scholar, was See also:born at Gainneville near See also:Havre, on the 22nd of See also:February 1714, and died at See also:Paris on the 3rd of See also:July 1795. His first publications were See also:anonymous: an Histoire See also:des revolutions de Genes jusqu'd la paix de 1748 (1750), and a See also:series of Vies des orateurs grecs (1752). Elected a member of the Academie des See also:Inscriptions et Belles-lettres in 1759, he contribu ted an Histoire de Posthume empereur des Gaules (vol. See also:xxx., 176o) to the collected See also:works of that illustrious society, and also a Memoire sur l'etablissement de la See also:religion et de l'See also:empire de See also:Mahomet (vol. xxxii., 1761–1763). After the See also:close of the Seven Years' See also:War he was sent to See also:search in the archives of See also:England for documents bearing upon the See also:history of See also:France, more particularly upon that of the French provinces which once belonged to England. This See also:mission (1764–1766) was very fruitful in results; Brequigny brought back from it copies of about 7000 documents, which are now in the Bibliotheque Nationale. A useful selection .of these documents was published (unfortunately without adequate See also:critical treatment) by See also:Jean Jacques See also:Champollion-See also:Figeac, under the See also:title Lettres de rois, refines et autres personnages des See also:tours de France et d'Angleterre, depuis Louis VII. jusqu'd See also:Henri IV., tirees des archives de Londres See also:par Brequigny (collection of Documents inedits relatifs (i l'histoire de France, 2 vols., 1839, 1847). Brequigny himself See also:drew the material for many important studies from the See also:rich mine which he had thus exploited. These were included in the collection of the See also:Academic des Inscriptions: Memoire sur See also:les diferends entre la France et dAngleterre sous le regne de See also:Charles le See also:Bel (vol. xli.); Memoire sur la See also:vie de See also:Marie, reine de France, sceur de Henri VIII., roi d'Angleterre (vol. xlii.); four Menzoires pour servir d l'histoire de See also:Calais (vols. xliii. and 1.); and Memoire sur les negotiations touchant les projets de mariage d'See also:Elizabeth, reine d'Angleterre, d'abord avec le duc d'See also:Anjou, ensuite avec le duc d'See also:Alencon, tous deux freres de Charles IX. (vol. 1.). This last was read to the See also:Academy on the 22nd of See also:January 1793, the morrow of Louis XVI.'s See also:execution. Mean-while, Brequigny had taken See also:part in three See also:great and erudite works.
For the Recueil des ordonnances des rois de France he had prepared
volumes x.-xiv., the See also:preface to vol. xi. containing important researches into the French communes. To the Table chronologique des diplo"See also:mes, chartes, lettres, et actes imprimes concernant l'histoire de France he contributed three volumes in collaboration with Mouchet (1769—1783). Charged with the supervision of a large collection of documents bearing on French history, analogous to See also:Rymer's Foedera, he published the first See also:volume (Diplomat at. Chartae, &c., 1791). The Revolution interrupted him in his collection of Memoires concernant l'histoire, les sciences, les lettres, et les arts des Chinois, begun in 1776 at the instance of the See also:minister See also:Bertin, when fifteen volumes had appeared.
