∙ 12y agoThe oldest extant document mentioning Josquin is a record dated April 19, 1477 that attests to his employment as a singer in the service of René, Duke of Anjou. At that time, René's court was established in Aix-en-Provence. Other sources allow us to make the conjecture that Josquin worked in Aix-en-Provence as early as 1475 and until at least 1478, and possibly 1480, the date of the Duke of Anjou's death. It is also known that, in 1483, Josquin inherited some property from his uncle in Condé-sur-L'Escaut, the town were he retired.
In 1489, Josquin entered the papal chapel of Innocent VIII. When the latter died in 1492, Alexander VI succeeded him. Josquin's name remains listed on the employment records of the chapel until 1495.
