Biography
Adam de Bailleux: documented as a chorister in an undated entry in the aumosne for 1429-30, implying he had been a chorister the previous fiscal year as well [LAN, 4G 7760 (1429-30), 10v], and as a small vicar in entries for 14 march and 15 April 1435, also in the aumosne [LAN, 4G 7761 (1434-35), 10v-11r]. He is the Adinet or Adenet in the lists of small vicars in the wine accounts from 24 June 1439 [LAN, 4G 7439, 8r] until his promotion to grand vicar on 08 June 1442 [LAN, 4G 7441, 9r]. His promotion would have been recorded in the lost register H of the acts, but an entry of 03 November 1442 refers to him by his full name as a grand vicar confirming the identification [LAN, 4G 1090, 10v]. Adam exchanged his grand vicariate for the parish church of Antoing with Jehan de Maldet on 16 March 1446 [CBM 1058, 38v], and from this point disappears from the Cambrai records.
