Georges de la Trémoille was Count of Guînes from 1398 to 1446 and Grand Chamberlain of France to King Charles VII of France. He sought reconciliation between Philip, Duke of Burgundy and Charles VII during their estrangement in the latter part of the Hundred Years' War and was a political opponent of Arthur de Richemont within the French court. Most historians take a poor view of his career and assess that he placed personal advancement before the public interest, but the traditional historical interpretation of the Grand Chamberlain as Joan of Arc's opponent has been revised.
