He died at the stake, but he was an old man by then.
This is not even a start to the heterodox thinking in the century leading up to the VMs C-14 dates. And as sure as the VMs is the product of another idiosyncratic mind, a vast spectrum of possibilities has opened up. It's up to the VMs artist to present the illustrations.
The more that is known about the actual history of the relevant C-14 era, the better chance there is to find meaning in the VMs illustrations. Heraldry is a prime example. And so it is that specific details in the biography of Colette of Corbie have a certain affinity in the VMs illustration of f79v. It's hard to say if this is before her death (1447) or after. Does the VMs illustration represent her assumption? And it is another connection with the state of Burgundy, starting with the Golden Fleece (1430). It is another indication that this era is well-known to the artist and an example that things have progressed, as VMs artistry is better known through collective investigation.
