Biography

[English translation available below]
Chantre et chapelain de la chapelle de Léon X de 1515 à 1516, un document du 19.6.1516 indique qu’il est alors chanoine de Bayeux (”canonico Baiocensis”) et âgé de dix-sept ans environ, ce qui permet de dater sa naissance vers 1499 et de supposer que, s’il bénéficiait effectivement déjà d’un canonicat dans une cathédrale, il était probablement d’ascendance aristocratique, peut-être de la famille “de Thiville”. Par une bulle du 17.12.1515, il avait reçu la prévôté laïque de la collégiale Notre-Dame de “Lunicello” (“Beata Maria de Lunicello”, dioc. Pavie ; à identifier), puis, le 19.6.1516, le canonicat avec prébende dit "de Fegueroles” en l'église cathédrale de Bayeux, qui avait appartenu à Carpentras* (Frey 1955-1956, (8) p. 194).

-- English translation G. McDonald --
Thinille was a singer and chaplain in the chapel of Leo X in 1515-1516. A document of 19.6.1516 indicates that he was at that time a canon of Bayeux (“canonico Baiocensis”) and aged about seventeen years; this allows us to date his birth at about 1499, and to suppose that if he was already at that age recipient of a canonicate at a cathedral, he was probably from an aristocratic family, perhaps the de Thiville family. A bull of 17.12.1515 had provided him with a position of lay provost of the Collegiate church of Our Lady of “Lunicello” (“Beata Maria de Lunicello”, dioc. Pavia; to be identified). On 19.6.1516, he was given the prebendary canonicate of “Fegueroles” in the Cathedral of Bayeux, which had previously belonged to Carpentras* (Frey 1955-1956, (8) p. 194).
