The Tragedy of Bussy D'Ambois (1603-07) is a Jacobean stage play written by George Chapman. Classified as either a tragedy or "contemporary history," Bussy D'Ambois is widely considered Chapman's greatest play, & is the earliest in a series of plays that Chapman wrote about the French political scene in his era, including the sequel The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois, the two-part The Conspiracy & Tragedy of Charles, Duke of Byron, & The Tragedy of Chabot, Admiral of France. The play is based on the life of the real Louis de Bussy d'Amboise, who was murdered in 1579.
