Antoine de la Sale was a French courtier, educator, and writer who participated in military campaigns in his youth. He began writing in his middle age, during the late 1430s, while living in Italy, and later returned to France in the 1440s, where he served as an umpire in tournaments. He wrote a treatise on the history of knightly tournaments in 1459 and became the tutor of the sons of Louis de Luxembourg, Count of Saint-Pol, to whom he dedicated a moral work in 1451. His most successful work, Little John of Saintré, was written in 1456.
