Planchart : Jehan Moreau (Moriau): was a small vicar from 01 June 1491 to 29 July 1492 [LAN, 4G 7472 (1490-91), 7v; (1492-93), 7r]. He came from St. Géry and the canons accepted him with reservation because he was married and “knew little,” but he had a loud [alta] voice and was enjoined to learn to improvise (cantare super librum) [CBM 1061, 392r]. Around the time he left, on 24 May and then 13 August 1492, one Richard de Caumont, called Moriau, and his wife were given were given graces. Richard is not identified as a small vicar, but is probably a relative of Jehan [LAN, 4G 7769 (1492-93), 22v].
