Eustachius [Eustache]  de Monteregalis [Gallus] {Leo X-Clement VII}

Arras; possibly in the Cappella Giulia in April-June  1514  (only an "Eustachius" is listed--see  DAVID , p. 10); earliest reference, supplication dated [April-June  1519 ];  maestro di cappella  at the Cathedral of Modena  1520-1524 ; supplication list of [ 1525-1526 ]; receipt lists of [ 1525-1526 ] and December  1526 ; unpublished beneficial documents : RS 1601, fols. 112r-112v: undated supplication [April-June 1519]; RAS Camerale I, 1089, fols. 346r-348v: bull dated 17 May  1526 .

The  1519  date of the earliest reference to Monteregalis as a papal singer is based on conjecture, but a fairly secure one, since the volume RS 1601 contains supplications concerning expectatives exclusively from 1519 and the surrounding supplications are dated in April and June. In this document, Monteregalis is called "clericus Attrebatensis diocesis," so his name may not be connected to his place of birth (Monreale and Mondovì have both been suggested).

Monteregalis was a composer of magnificats, motets, and psalm settings, but only one motet is preserved in a VatS manuscript. He also composed a few frottole (edited in DAVID).
