[[File:Van der weyden miniature.jpg|thumb|alt=Miniature de présentation|[[Rogier van der Weyden]]<br>Frontispiece miniature of the ''Chronicles of Hainaut''. ([[Bibliothèque royale de Belgique]], Brussels, Manuscrits, MS.9242.]]
The '''Chronicles of Hainaut''' is an [[illuminated manuscript]] in three volumes, tracing the history of the [[county of Hainaut]] up to the end of the 14th century. Its text was produced around 1446-1450 by [[Jean Wauquelin]] as a French translation of ''Annales historiae illustrium principum Hannoniæ'', a three-volume Latin work produced by [[Jacques de Guise]] around 1390-1396. It was made for [[Philip III of Burgundy]] and is now in the [[Bibliothèque royale de Belgique]] in [[Brussels]].
Its frontispiece is a 1447 miniature by [[Rogier Van der Weyden]] showing Waquelin kneeling to present the book to Philip<ref> A. De Schryver, « Pour une meilleure orientation des recherches à propos du Maître de Girart de Roussillion », in ''Rogier van der Weyden en zijn tijd'', Bruxelles, 1974.</ref>. Beside Philip is his thirteen or fourteen year old son [[Charles the Bold]]. To the left, the figure in blue is chancellor [[Nicolas Rolin]] and the one in red is [[Jean Chevrot]], [[bishop of Tournai]]. The group of people to the right are eight members of the [[Order of the Golden Fleece]], founded by Philip in 1430.
Ten other miniatures (f.75, 175v, 267, 274v, 277, 281, 284v, 286v, 291) are attributed to the Alexandre de Wauquelin Master<ref> Bernard Bousmanne and Thierry Delcourt (ed.), ''Miniatures flamandes'', Bibliothèque nationale de France/Bibliothèque royale de Belgique, 2011, 464 p. (ISBN 9782717724998), p. 178-181 (notice de Pascal Schandel)</ref>.
