Biography
Cour d’Anjou, 1450. En février 1450, Pierre Lescandet*, maître de chapelle de Duc René d’Anjou, se rend, sur l’ordre de la reine de Sicile, de Saumur à Seigneulles en Barrois, pour ramener «Phelippot Maydon, chantre qui avoit esté mandé devers ladite Dame pour estre tenneur en ladite chapelle,» et fut peu après son arrivée renvoyé «pour aucunes causes» et reçut la somme de 110 sols tournois en recompense. Maxe-Werly 1897, p. 1000, en citant Lecoy de la Marche 1873, nº 683.
Allinson 1993, p. 86
Philipot Maydon 25 Having been asked to come to the chapel as a tenor, Maydon was paid 4 escus on 16 May 1450 for his expenses (25). No further ref erence to this singer is made, so apparently he was not of sufficient quality to be asked to join the chapel permanently.
