He died at See also:Bruges on the 16th of See also:June 1468.
Le Fevre wrote a Chronique, or Histoire de Charles VI., See also:roy de France. The greater part of this See also:chronicle is merely a copy of the See also:work of Enguerrand de See also:Monstrelet, but Le Fevre is an original authority for the years between 1428 and 1436 and makes some valuable additions to our knowledge, especially about the chivalry of the Burgundian court. He is more concise than Monstrelet, but is equally partial to the See also:dukes of Burgundy. The Chronique has been edited by F. Morand for the Societe de 1'histoire de France (Paris, 1876). Le Fevre is usually regarded as the author of the Livre des faites'de Jacques de See also:Lalaing.
