Biography
Planchart: Mathieus de Melle, alias le Franch, Mathieu Foisseur, was a small vicar from 20 February 1467 to 26 March 1468 [LAN, 4G 7465, 5v; 4G 7466, 5r]. The name and sobriquet are in the wine accounts, the account of the small vicars calls him Mathieu Foisseur, and notes that the canons decided to dismiss him at the chapter meeting afte the feast of the Annunciation because of physical weakness (propte indebilitatem [sic] corporis) and “for other things he did against their wishes” [LAN, 4G 6789 (1467-68), 5r].
