Perrinet Gressart

Perrinet Gressart (1380 – 1438) was a mercenary captain in the employ of Philip III of Burgundy during the latter phase of the Hundred Years' War.

Biography

At some point, Gressart held Georges de la Trémoille prisoner and nearly bankrupted the count in ransom. On 21 September 1429, Trémoille charged Jeanne d'Arc with besieging Gressart's fortress, though it failed after a month, due to Charles VII of France failing to send the troops the required food and supplies.

He died circa 1438 after having accumulated much wealth from his ransoms.
