• Planchart : Etienne de Condé, Etienne Bourgois: was a small vicar from 25 October 1457 to his death, noted in the wine account, on 18 September 1469 [LAN, 4G 7456, 7v; 4G 7468, 5v]. The identity of two names comes from the acts, who refer to him as Etienne Bourgois, at times when the only Etienne in the lists is Etienne de Condé. He became a member of the community of chaplains in 1465-66 [LAN, 4G 6938, 13r] and remained in the lists until his death. On 01 March 1462 he obtained the parish church of Marech on the resignation of Jehan du Sart [CBM 1060, 161v], and on 19 October 1464 he was imprisoned for three days when his servant, Jacqueline, and Guillemette, servant of Hughes le Caron created a big disturbance [CBM 1060, 210v]. On 26 April 1465 he collated the chaplaincy at the altar of St. Nicholas, although the acts do not mention why it had become free, and that same day he exchanged the parish church of Marech for that of Heries with Oudard Chariot [CBM 1060, 210v].
Etienne Robastre, tenorist: had been one of the messengers of the church before his reception as a small vicar on 16 October 1455 [CBM 1059, 170v]. His reception was not noted in the wine account, but he appears in the list for 23 December 1455 and served until 21 December 1456 [LAN, 4G 7454, 5v; 4G 7455, 5v]. He is probably the “new tenor from Peronne” given a robe in November 1455 [CBM 1059, 172v], since he had been promised one upon his reception. Curiously, on 09 March 1457 he an Jehan de Guise, described as small vicars, are to be punished for their absences, but Robastre had stopped being a small vicar the previous December (Guise would serve until 04 November 1457) [CBM 1059, 261r]. This is the last notice of him I have found.
