PirroBN, Cpte des pv (G1129) 1460/61 Cpte Du Fay, mentionne “Campion”.
Il s’agit peut-être d’un premier représentant de la dynastie des Champion, dont les plus connus sont Nicolas* et (NG2,1) Jacques Champion [Campion, Scampion, Sampion] (i) (b late 15th century; d after 1534). Singer and ?composer. He is traceable from 1513 as master of the choristers at St Rombout, Mechelen, and from 1518 as a singer in the court chapel of the Emperor Charles V. At an unknown date he succeeded Nicolas Carlier as master of the choristers there, but by 1528 he had been replaced by Gombert, perhaps because of age (Federhofer), and in 1530 or 1531 he appears to have been pensioned off (Schmidt-Görg). He is not heard of after 1535. Coclico may have been referring to him when he spoke of "many princes of musicians, Josquin des Prez, Pierre de la Rue, Jacobus Scampion, and others, who used admirable and most sweet embellishments of clausulae" (Compendium musices, Nuremberg, 1552/R; after Reese, 517).
Planchart Ernoul Campion: documented as a son of Henri Campion and a chorister from 1445 to 1451 [CBM 1058, 3r, 269r]. He was a small vicar from 28 February 1452 to 09 September 1460, 24 June 1461 to 30 September 1464, and 06 February to 04 August 1465 [CBM 1059, 12v; LAN, 4G 7450, 6r; 4G 7459, 6r; 4G 7460, 5v-6r; 4G 7454, 5v]. As many other small vicars he was sometimes cited for disrespect and indiscipline [CBM 1059, 147r, 260v]. On 04 January 1458 he collated the parish church of Amieux on the death of Pierre Puillencourt [CBM 1060, 9v, 16v], and on 04 April 1461 he collated the chaplaincy at the altar of SS Peter and Paul on the death of Jehan Ocon [CBM, 1060, 107r]. That year he became a member of the grand community of chaplains [LAN, 4G 6931, 13v] and appears in the lists until 1465-66 [LAN, 4G 6938, 19v]. On 11 June 1462 he resigned the church of Amieux, which went to Pasquier Coutel [CBM 1060, 142r], and died on 01 September 1465 [CBM 1060, 222r].
