Bricquet, Jacques (…-…)

NG2, notice Briquet (fl early 15th century). ?French composer. His little two-voice rondeau Ma seule amour et ma belle maistresse (ed. in CMM, xi/2, 1959) appears in three manuscripts, two of them ascribed. He could be the Jehan de Villeroye, called 'Briquet', who was a sommelier de corps and diplomat at the court of Burgundy from 1388 to 1415, married in 1407, and was a member of Duke Philip the Good's court of love in 1416. A more likely candidate, however, would be the singer Briquet who came from Avignon to join the chapel of King Charles III of Navarre in 1396--7. BIBLIOGRAPHY: PirroHM. H.
