Nicolas d'Orgemont
Nicolas d'Orgemont (also le Boiteux d'Orgemont , German "the lame of Orgemont" ; † July 16, 1416 in Meung-sur-Loire ) was the fourth son of Pierre d'Orgemont , Chancellor of France , and Marguerite de Voisines .
He was Dean of Saint-Martin de Tours , Conseiller in the Parlement (1385) and Maître des Comptes (1409).
Nicolas d'Orgemont amassed a huge fortune, which made him a symbol of breach of duty ( prevarication ). Protected for a long time by his membership of the Bourguignons party , he was eventually persecuted by those in power from the Armagnacs party for conspiracy . In 1415 he was removed from office by the Parliament and sentenced to a fine of 80,000 écu . Upon confirmation of the sentence, he received life imprisonment. He died in prison in Meung.
