Raoul Lefèvre

Raoul Lefèvre was the 15th-century French author of a Histoire de Jason and the Recoeil des histoires de Troyes. Both books were translated and printed by William Caxton, and the latter, as Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye, was the first book printed in English in 1473–1474. Probably originating from Picardy, Lefèvre was the chaplain of Philip the Good, the creator of the Order of the Golden Fleece, which was based on the classical Jason story.
