Condé, compte des offices 1448. Son nom n’est plus mentionné en 1472.
Esquieu1981, pp.301-304, retrace la carrière au service du roi René d’Anjou à Aix en Provence d’un Jean de Montegny, du diocèse de Cambrai, trésorier et receveur de la chapelle jusqu’en 1460 environ. Également secrétaire du roi, il fut évêque de Glandèves de mai 1468 à avril 1469, après avoir été chanoine d’Aix.
Un Johannes de Montigny, presb Cameracensis dioc, verse les annates pour l’église paroissiale de Fontaine-L’évêque du dioc de Cambrai, le 11 avril 1485. (Brouette1963, n°39, pp. 14-15).
Planchart : Jehan Montigny: was a small vicar from 02 November 1443 to 18 February 1444, 20 July to 06 October 1449, with a number of small absences and lost days during his second tenure [LAN, 4G 7443, 7r; 4G 7449, 7r-7v]. He might be the Jehan Viewarner who exchanged the parish church of Montigny for that of Yssier with Guillaume le Métayer (Modiator), called Malebeque, former papal singer and canon of St. Vincent de Soignies [CBM 1059, 130r]. His presence in Cambrai was minimal.

He was paid wages of 6 escus a month from then until October 1454 (36-7, 39, 43-5, 49, 119-20, 122, 126, 129, 134, 138, 142, 146). He received 10 escus for robes for May 1451 (38), October 1451 (40), May 1452 (46), October 1452 (50), winter 1453 (153) and May 1454 (159), and for a mourning robe in April 1453 on the death of Isabelle (146). He was also paid 14 escus for a robe de migraine in November 1451 (61) and 10 escus in May 1453 for a horse to travel with Ren? from Anjou to Provence (172). In addition, de Montigny was paid 10 escus on 26 February 1452 to help him support himself (63); a further gift of 20 escus for the same reason was entered but crossed out (176). De Montigny seems to have been held in high esteem by Ren? and on 9 September 1456 he was made receiver of the chapel. For this he was to receive 55/
88 LOUISE ALLINSON a year in addition to his wages as a singer (which remained 6 escus a month). The position took effect immediately and carried certain honour and privilege (Lecoy de la Marche, 684: P13346, ff. 125M26).
