Biography
Planchart : Jehan Blondel (Blondiau, Blondeau): was a small vicar from 27 February 1458 to 24 January of 1460. [LAN, 4G 7456, 7v; 4G 7458, 5v]. His dismissal came about on account of his obsessive pestering of Michelette, sister of one of the vicars of Ste. Croix, and getting into a public fight with Jehan Bauregard, canon of Ste. Croix [CBM 1060, 65r]. On 21 January 1463 he is documented as a monk of St. Aubert [CBM 1060, 65r], which probably means he came from a prominent family and the account of the grand métier report on 05 November 1472 a gift of bread and wine to the Duke of Calabria [Alfonso d’Aragona] (illustrissimo principi domino duci Calabriae) at the house of one Tristan Blondiau [LAN, 4G 5105, 9v].
