FranceA medieval poet whose verses about crime, mortality, and low-rent Paris still cut because he lived them — the thefts, the taverns, the run-ins with the law all made it onto the page.
About
François Villon was born around 1431 and became the best known French poet of the Late Middle Ages. His life tangled with criminal behavior and repeated brushes with law enforcement. Rather than hide it, he wrote it down: the experiences that should have ruined him became the material. His poems carry that edge, the unmistakable texture of someone who knew the inside of a cell. He was last heard from after 1463, the record goes cold, and the work he left is all that remains.
