Biography

[English translation available below]
Chapelle de Bourgogne, 1384-1404
Retenu directement comme chapelain dans la chapelle de Philippe le Hardi à Paris le 27.5.1384, en même temps que le chapelain Jean de Coulommiers* et le clerc Nicole de Hamencourt*, il sert en continu jusqu’à la mort du duc en 1404, toujours parmi les premiers chapelains de la liste, et souvent en premier. Il ne revint pas au service de Jean sans Peur mais perçut encore des arriérés de gages en 1413 (Wright 1979, p. 57, 59, 86, 212-230 ; la note p. 59 précise qu’une entrée [ou, sans doute plutôt, une annotation postérieure liée à ses arriérés de gages] d’un registre de 1402 [F-AD21, B1532, f. 86] indique qu’il passa la fin de sa vie dans la région de Rouen).

Cathédrale de Rouen, 1391-1414
Chanoine de 1391 à 1414, il succède à J. Fresnel sur nomination du duc de Bourgogne. Prêtre, sous-chantre de la cathédrale de 1398 à 1414, il était le frère d’un chapelain à la cathédrale de Rouen, mais sa résidence fut épisodique. Il fut curé de Saint-Jean de Dieppe en 1404 et 1405 et se fit remarquer pour son mode de vie peu édifiant (FEG 2 Rouen, p. 226-227, n° 180).

Burgundian court chapel, 1384-1404
Recruited directly at the rank of chaplain in the chapel of Philip the Bold at Paris on 27.5.1384, at the same time as the chaplain Jean de Coulommiers* and the cleric Nicole de Hamencourt*. He served continuously until the death of the duke in 1404, and is always mentioned amongst the first chaplains in the list, often at the top. He was not reemployed under John the Fearless, but received the arrears of his wages in 1413 (Wright 1979, pp. 57, 59, 86, 212-230; the note on p. 59 details that an entry [or probably rather a later annotation related to the wages owed to him] in a register of 1402 [F-ADCO, B1532, fol. 86] indicates that he passed the end of his life in the region of Rouen.)

Cathedral of Rouen, 1391-1414
Canon from 1391 to 1414, he succeeded J. Fresnel at the nomination of the Duke of Burgundy. Priest, succentor of the cathedral from 1398 until 1414, he was the brother of a chaplain at the cathedral of Rouen, but his residence there was sporadic. He was curate of Saint-Jean in Dieppe in 1404 and 1405, but made himself conspicuous through his less than edifying lifestyle (FEG 2 Rouen, p. 226-27: n° 180).
