Nicholaus  Foncher {Leo X}

Earliest reference, bull of 1 November  1517; payments as a member of the  musici segreti : November  1517 -August  1518 ; see  FREY  for bulls dated 1 November  1517  and 26 December  1518 .

It is just possible that Foncher is the same person as Nicholas Fochier ; they have the same first name, and both received benefices in Avignon. On the other hand, Foncher is called "cantor secretus" in documents of  1517  while  Fochier  is called "cantor capellanus" in documents of the same year (see Fochier).
