Michel Pintoin

Michel Pinoit chronicled the reign of Charles VI of France, whose coronation is shown in this miniature painted by Jean Fouquet.

Michel Pintoin (c. 1350 – c. 1421), commonly known as the Monk of Saint-Denis or Religieux de Saint-Denis was a French Monk cantor,[1] and chronicle writer best known for his history of the reign of Charles VI of France.[2] Anonymous for many centuries, in 1976 the Monk was tentatively identified as Michel Pintoin, although scholars continue to refer to him as the Monk or the Religieux.[3]
