² Pierre Maugier, D.Can.L., was active in the life of the University of Paris, as procureur of the French nation by May 1421, as representative of the University at the papal curia by 1425 and as rector in 1427 (Denifle and Châtelain, Chartulanum, iv, nos 2177, 2267, n. 6). He was an auditeur des causes at the Chatelet from 1425 (Gallia Regia, iv, 335Google Scholar; Fauquembergue, iii, 8–9Google Scholar). A canon of the church of St. Marcel and a promoter of causes at the court of the official-principal of Paris, he was admitted to a canonry and prebend at Notre-Dame, Paris, in September 1430 (A.N., LL 113, p. 218). In 1432–33 he was involved in a suit against Jean de Paris over a prebend there (A.N., X^1a 4796, fos. 313^r; 4797, fos. 15r, 16r, 26r, 39v, 40v). He was admitted again into a canonry in March 1435 (A.M., LL 114, p. 138).

He tried, unsuccessfully, to have the council of Basel intervene on his behalf.
