Olivier Basselin was born in the Val-de-Vire in Normandy, France about the end of the 14th century.
Basselin was by occupation a fuller, and tradition still points out the site of his mill.
From various traditions it may be gathered that Basselin was killed in the English wars about the middle of the century, possibly at the battle of Formigny (1450). At the beginning of the 17th century a collection of songs was published by a Norman lawyer, Jean Le Houx, purporting to be the work of Olivier Basselin. There seems to be very little doubt that Le Houx was himself the author of the songs attributed to Basselin, as well as of those he acknowledged as his own. It has been suggested that Basselin's name may be safely connected with some songs preserved in the Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris, and published at Caen in 1866 by M. Armand Gaste. The question is discussed in М. V. Patard's La Verite dans la question Olivier Basselin et Jean le Houx A propos du Vau-de- Vire (1897). A. Gaste's edition (1875) of the Vaux-de-Vire was translated (1885) by J. P. Muirhead.
