Biography
PirroBN, Cptes des pv (G1127) de 1458/59, par d’Inchy: 15 vic. Cap. Senlesches, Martin, Malida, Hugo, Petit Jean, Jo. Villani, Jo. Legier, Estiene, Campion, Rasset, Zemberch, Dom. Petrus, Massin, Blondiau, Robinet (Robertus). et (G1129) 1460/61 Cpte Du Fay, 14 vic. : Martin, Hughes, Vilain, Petit Jehan, Estienne, Campion, Sire Martin, Me Gille, Sire Pierre, Sire Rasse, Casin, Andruet, Mahienet, Jo.

• Planchart : Jehan Villain: was a small vicar from 30 May 1455 to 23 June 1457 and from 24 June 1458 to 27 October 1465, when he became a grand vicar on the resignation of Jacques Morel [LAN, 4G 7454, 5v; 4G 7455, 6v; 4G 7457, 8r; 4G 7464, 5v; CBM 1060, 226v]. Villain’s absence for all of 1457-58 might be a mirage, the list for that year reports as a small vicar one Quienran, a name found in no other document from Cambrai known to me, who served the entire fiscal year. I believe that this is a sobriquet for Villain. He probably joined the grand community of chaplains in 1444-45 (one of the years where the advents are not recorded) and appears in the lists from 1445-46 [LAN, 4G 6912, 11v] to 1452-53 [LAN, 4G 6918, 22r]. In 1470-71 he held the chaplaincy of the 11,000 Virgins as a foreign chaplaincy but the following year he is recorded as the past holder [LAN, 4G 7943, 37r; 4G 7944, 39r]. He probably shifted to the small community of chaplains because on 25 October 1465 he resigned the chaplaincy of St. John Baptist to Henri Macheclier in preparation to his becoming a grand vicar [CBM 1060, 226v]. He probably died in 1471-72, and his passing would have been recorded in the lost register N of the acts.
• Il ne semble pas pouvoir être : PillebouePCR: Sainte-chapelle de Bourges: Jean Villain* (Villani), clerc 13.10.1459 sera privé des vêtement comme Jean d’Aubigny s’ils continuent à se battre. Encore mentionné en 1458-1459, vicaire, tres faible pendant la peste.
