Biography
Collégiate church of Saint-Omer, 1533. Mary of Hungary wrote to the chapter of Saint-Omer on 29 March 1533 (o.s.) to ask him to send one of his choirboys, “Michielet Cobrize,” to Brussels for an audition. On 13 April she wrote back after the audition to say that although Michelet was well versed in music, he was a little too big and unable to adapt himself to the needs of her chapel (bien sachant sa musique / neantmoings pour ce quil est ung peu grand et quil ne se pourroit bonnement plyer selon que desirons pour le chant de n[ost]re chapelle), and consequently she sent him back to Charles (see Kirkman 2008, 118-121).

The name Cobrice is attested in the eighteenth century in the village of Renescure, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, not far from Saint-Omer.
