The only vacancy of the bishopric of Lisieux (see the letter) between these dates was occasioned by the death of Pasquerius de Vaux in July 1447. This prelate had been secretary and chaplain to the Regent Duke of Bedford, Tregory may have been recommended, but Thomas Basin succeeded to the vacant see. (Gallia Christiana, tom. xi. p. 795.)

For a memoir of Michael Tregury, which, however, is inaccurate in ascribing to Henry V. the founding the University of Caen, see Davies Gilbert's History of Cornwall, vol. iv. p. 138; and Gent. Mag. vol. ci. p. 197, et seq. In both these works a plate is given, representing the tomb of the archbishop, round which was the following inscription:—

Jesus est Salvator meus.

Præsul Metropolis Michael hic Dubliniensis

Marmore tumbatus, pro me Christum flagitetis.

The cover of the tomb was found, under rubbish, in St. Stephen's chapel in St. Patrick's Cathedral, and preserved and set up by Dean Swift, A.D. 1730.
