| Zusammenfassung: | The Final Wishes of John of Burgundy, Bishop of Cambrai (1439 – 1480). A Critical Edition of His Wills and Codicils John of Burgundy (Dijon, 1414/1417 – Malines, April 27, 1480), the bastard son of Duke John the Fearless and of Agnes de Croy, was made Bishop of Cambrai by Eugene IV on May 12, 1439, at the end of a career in benefices that was as short as it was profitable. His testamentary file consists of about fifteen documents preserved in the Archives of the Département du Nord in Lille (3 G 337 and 3 G 1055). Five of these are the subject of this current edition : the first will of June 16, 1475, a codicil as binding as a will, dated July 14 of the following year, the will called “principal” of December 23, 1477, a codicil of the same date, and an addendum to the second will drafted on September 20, 1479. This set of documents testifies to the “double life” of a Burgundian Prelate, who had initially chosen his cathedral as his final resting place, and to a father anxious to ensure that his numerous offspring should be provided for. |
