Planchart : Jehan Legier, tenorist: came from Soissons and was a small vicar from 11 November 1455 until his death on 23 May 1460 [LAN, 4G 7454, 5v; 4G 7458, 6r]. On 25 March 1457 he was about to celebrate his first mass [LAN, 4G 7763 (1456-57), 12v]. On 08 May 1458 he resigned the chaplaincy of Pocquettes in the parish church of Nivelles, which was then granted to Jehan [probably Vilain], another small vicar, who together with Martin Prévost became one of his executors [CBM 1060, 78r]. He is probably the Iohannes Tenorista who had recently arrived from Rome in March 1456 as reported in the aumosne [LAN, 4G 7763 (1455-56), 10v].
