Pierre de Nesson
Pierre de Nesson (born 1384, date of death unknown) was a French poet. He was born in Aigueperse, Puy-de-Dôme, France. His major work is the "Vigiles des Morts", or "Paraphrase des IX leçons de Job". It is commentary on the Biblical "Book of Job", in outspoken verses. Other works are "L'hommage à la Vierge", and the "Lay de guerre", a "lai" written after the Battle of Agincourt, a riposte to the "Lay de paix" of his contemporary Alain Chartier.
