His praises were sung
by Le Chandelier, the poet; and M. Floquet, in his History
of the Parliament of Normandy, states that Brinon rendered
most important services to France as a negotiator in Italy
in 1521, and in England in 1524. The _Journal d'un Bourgeois
de Paris_ mentions that he died in Paris in 1528, aged
forty-four, and was buried in the Church of St. Severin.--L.
According to La Croix du Maine's _Bibliotheque Francoise_,
Brinon was the author of a poem entitled _Les Amours de
Sydire_.--B. J.
"The images," said Gallery, "must be set under the altar, to hear mass,
with words that I will presently tell you to say."
Then, speaking of those images that had their arms lowered, the Proctor
said that one should be for Master Gilles du Mesnil, father of the dead
man, for he knew that as long as the father lived he would not cease to
pursue him. Moreover, one of the women with their hands hanging down was
to be for the Duchess of Alencon, sister to the King; for she bore
so much love to her old servant, Du Mesnil, and had in so many other
matters become acquainted with the Proctor's wickedness, that except she
died he could not live.
