Planchart : Hendrik Ziller, alias Rose: the reception of this vicar presents a very strange case. The wine account records on 09 September 1453 the reception of one Iohannes de Domo Beringhen [LAN, 4G 7452, 6r], but the account of the small vicars reports the reception of Henricus on the 14th week, which that year fell between 08 and 15 September [LAN, 4G 6789 (1453-54), 5r]. Later lists in the wine accounts, however, have indeed a Henricus in the place where Iohannes de Domo Beringhen should go on account of his seniority, and no other mention of Iohannes ever turns up. Henricus, then, is the name of the new vicar, who served until 28 October 1454, when he left for Rome in the company of Iacobus and Laurentius [LAN, 4G 7453, 6v]. This makes it a virtual certainty the he is Hendrik Ziller, called Rose, from Zelle in Tournai (but who called himself a clerk of Cambrai), who entered the papal chapel in May 1455 together with Jaques Boni and Laurent Canner. He served in the papal chapel from 1455 to July 1468, and made efforts to obtain a canonicate at Cambrai. [Starr, “Music,” 130-132]. The Cambrai records never give his last name until 20 April 1459, when Martin Prévost, as proctor of Henricus de Zeele, alias de Rosa, a papal singer, presented Hendrik’s letters of collation to the chapter [CBM 1059, 42v]. By 29 October 1464 he has obtained a canonicate at St. Géry [ASV, DC 32, 24v], and on 02 December 1466 he was installed by procuration as a canon of Onze-Lieve-Vrouw in Antwerp [Starr, “Music,” 132, Van den Neiuwenhuizen, “De Koralen,” 44].
