{{no footnotes|date=February 2018}}
'''Angel Baffard''' ('''Angel of St. Rosalie''', {{langx|fr|'''Ange de Sainte-Rosalie'''}}) (1655–1726) was a French [genealogist](/source/genealogy) and [friar](/source/friar) of the Order of [Discalced Augustinians](/source/Discalced_Augustinians).

==Biography==
He was born '''François Baffard''' in 1655 in [Blois](/source/Blois), in the ancient [province](/source/French_provinces) of [Orléanais](/source/Orl%C3%A9anais). After making his [religious profession](/source/profession_(religious)) in 1672, he filled many important offices in the [priories](/source/priory) of his Order, and finally devoted himself to the study of genealogy, contributing extensively to {{lang|fr|[Le Grand Dictionnaire historique](/source/Le_Grand_Dictionnaire_historique)}} of [Louis Moréri](/source/Louis_Mor%C3%A9ri).

From the materials collected by [Anselm de Guibours](/source/Anselm_de_Guibours), a distinguished scholar and friar of the same Order, and the nobleman, [Caille du Fourny](/source/Caille_du_Fourny), he prepared a revision of Guibours' {{lang|fr|Histoire généalogique et chronologique de la maison royale de France et des grands officiers de la couronne}}, which was left unfinished at Baffard's own death, which occurred in [Paris](/source/Paris) in 1726, shortly before the revised first volume was published.

The work was finally completed by [Simplicien Lucas](/source/Simplicien_Lucas), his collaborator in the project begun by Guibours. The latter also prepared three additional volumes.

Baffard's other works include {{lang|fr|L'Etat de la France}}, edited in 1749 by the [Benedictines of Saint-Maur](/source/Benedictines_of_Saint-Maur), with a supplementary volume on the [coronation](/source/coronation), the [armorial bearings](/source/armorial_bearings), and prerogatives of the kings of France.
