Biography
Planchart : Nicolas de Waspail, alias de Douai: documented as a small vicar for fifteen days in an undated entry in the aumosne in 1410-11 [LAN, 4G 7758 (1410-11), 7r], but not in 1411-12, for which we have fairly complete documentation. He is mentioned as a small vicar on 12 June 1415 [CBM 1056, 26r] and again on 01 November 1437 [CBM 1057, 58v], and appears to have been a small vicar consistently all those years because he is second on the first list of small vicar in the wine accounts on 24 June 1439 [LAN, 4G 7439, 8r]. He became a grand vicar on 10 September 1440 [LAN, 4G 7440, 7r], and made the receiver of the small vicars on 02 June 1458. He died on 01 May 1463 [CBM 1060, 167r] and was probably illegitimate, for he had received a licentia testandi on 17 August 1426 [CBM 1056, 170v].
