Duke Philip, who since his death has been called Duke Philip the Good, consented to raise troops, but the real purpose of this affair was never revealed to him nor did he expect that it would lead to direct action.

artnet.com: Resource Library: Jérôme de Fiesole A document of 1499 mentions him as the only sculptor employed by Anne of Brittany (1477–1514) to realize the tomb of her parents, Francis II, 10th Duke of Brittany and Marguerite of Foix (marble; Nantes Cathedral), and also of her children by Charles VIII (marble; Tours Cathedral). It has been suggested, not entirely convincingly, that Jérôme contributed the decorative Renaissance framing to the Entombment (usually attributed to Colombe) in the abbey church at Solesmes, Sarthe, and that he contributed to the decoration of the tomb of Cardinal Georges I d’Amboise and Cardinal Georges II d’Amboise, his nephew, in Rouen Cathedral. An Italian Renaissance repertory of ornament, exceptional in France in the early 16th century, appears on the sarcophagus, while the recumbent statues of the deceased are French in conception and style and come from the workshop of Colombe. www.artnet.com /library/04/0446/T044636.asp
