Biography

Composer only known by the attributions of two two-voice songs on Italian texts in the Porto Chansonnier (P-Pm 714). They set the first and 12th stanzas of a poem by the Ferrarese poet Girolamo Nigrisoli, lamenting the departure from Ferrara of Isotta d'Este, apparently at her first marriage in May 1444.

He might be a relative of Robertus de Anglia whose two songs, also on Italian texts, are also included in the same chansonnier.

Comments: Attribution of 2 songs on Italian texts in the Porto Chansonnier (P-Pm, 714, c. 1460). Since they set poems related to Isotta d'Este, one assume they might have been composed in Ferrara.
