Biography
Jehan de Mauldet (Malda): was a small vicar from 01 August 1451 to his death on 23 May 1459 [LAN, 4G 7450, 6r; 4G 7458, 8v; CBM 1060, 46r]. He presents a curious case of a “regressive” ecclesiastical career at Cambrai. On 16 March 1446 he was examined to see if he qualified for the grand vicariate that Adam de Bailleux wanted to exchange for the parish church of Antoing; two days later he was found qualified and the permutation took place with Robert Auclou serving as Mauldet’s proctor [CBM 38v-39r, 40r]. By 24 May 1447 Mauldet had not become a priest and the canons had to threaten him with the privation of his vicariate and other penalties refused him permission for a permutation of to leave the city [CBM 1058, 112r-113v]. Finally on 21 June 1447 Mauldet exchanged his grand vicariate for a chaplaincy at the altar of Notre Dame de la Poudre with Gilles Dippre [CBM 1058, 117r]. Mauldet had further trouble as a small vicar, on 16 December 1451 the chapter had to hear a case between Mauldet and Jehan Hertbeke, grand vicar; Mauldet had hit Hertbeke and drawn blood [CBM 1059, 6v-7r].
