Biography
Planchart: Jehan de Mauclerc, alias de Sancto Paulo, from Thérouanne: documented as a small vicar for all of 1410-11 and 1411-12 [LAN, 4G 6788 (1410-11), 2r-2v; 4G 6789 (1411-12), 4v]. Mauclerc is probably not the same Iohannes de Sancto Paulo that was a chorister at Cambrai in 1383-84 [LAN, 4G 7757 (1383-84), 8r], but he is probably the Iohannes de Sancto Paulo who was “recently made a cleric” and was to be the bishop of the children in December 1413 [CBM, 1056, 3v]. He became a chaplain in 1414-15 [LAN, 4G 4619, 9r], and appears in the list of chaplains for 1416-17 [LAN, 4G 6897, 8r]. On 10 November 1418 he was in Constance and was received into the papal chapel [ASR 1711, 92r] where he sang until at least July 1419 [ASR 824, 62r]. On 27 January 1419 he was granted as expectatives canonicates in Arras and Ste. Croix de Cambrai [ASV, RL 199, 22v-23r]. By 03 March 1420 he was back at Cambrai and was received in person as canon of Ste. Croix [LAN, 16G 177, 43v]. A good number of documents show him in residence at Cambrai until 1432, when he exchanged his canonicate at Ste. Croix for one in Bethune with André Despars [LAN, 16G 177, 81v]. He might be the Iohannes de Sancto Paulo who became a grand vicar at Cambrai in 1438-39 [LAN, 4G 4644, 9v], and he was still alive in 1469 when he resigned a chaplaincy in St. Géry that went to Gilles Carlier’s brother Jehan [LAN, 7G 575, 120r].
