He was paid 7 escus a month from June to October 1450 (30-1, 33), and 6 escus a month for the rest of the period (10-17, 19-21, 23-4, 28, 35-7, 39, 43-5, 49, 119-21, 125, 128, 131, 137, 142).

In August 1449 Boutillat received 3 escus for clothing (14) and in November 1451 he was allowed 26 escus for a robe de migraine (61). From May 1453 Boutillat is referred to as master of the chapel, a position he took over from the Bishop of Orange; for this he received an annual wage of 24 escus. However letters of 3 January 1452 had already reinstated Boutillat in the position of master of the chapel (127) and from November 1452 Boutillat received a pension of 24 escus a year in addition to his wages (58, 167-9). On 4 May 1452 Boutillat received a gift of 10 escus from Isabelle to help him support himself (52) and in August 1452 the king gave him 30 escus for the same purpose (62). He later received a further 20 escus for his loyal service (174). In May 1453, along with the other singers, Boutillat received 10 escus for a horse to travel with René from Anjou to Provence (172); he had already the previous month received 20 escus for a horse to make a similar journey (171). Other expenses paid to Boutillat include 12 escus for sending for a tenor (177). In October 1452 he received 10 escus for a trip to Brittany (49). On 28 September 1455 he was paid for a trip to Autun to obtain from the Cardinal there the relics of Saint Symphorien, these relics then being given to the church at Andard (Lecoy de la Marche, 717: P13346, ff. 94-96v).
