⁵ Thomas de Courcelies, born at Amiens c. 14.00, was one of the most notable members of the faculty of theology at Paris during these years. He was to play an active part in the trial of Joan of Arc where he showed himself hostile to the accused. He represented his faculty at the congress of Arras in 1435 where he spoke ‘like an angel’ (Dickinson, J. C., The Congress of Arras, 1435 (Oxford, 1955), pp. 17, 160Google Scholar). Rector of the University in 1430, 1431 and 1435, he attended the council of Basel and showed himself pro-conciliar in his views. The problem of loyalty in fifteenth-century France is well illustrated by the career of this man who, in 1461, was to pronounce the funeral oration of Charles VII. He died in 1469 as dean of Notre-Dame, Paris. See Dict. Biog. Fr., ix, 959–60.Google Scholar
