Three pious foundations passed in 1468 before the notaries of the Viscounty of Rouen (Arch. dép. de Seine Maritime, 2 E 1/197), allow us to learn more about Jeanne Dumont, married to Pierre Choinet, the author of the Rosier des guerres. The middle-class woman from Rouen was the heiress of movable and immovable assets that had been greatly increased under the Lancastrian monarchy. The corpus aims to shed light on Jeanne Dumont’s position as heiress, the couple’s wealth management practices and meticulous devotions of the last year of Jeanne’s life.
