WILLIAM OF VAUROUILLON, O.MIN. 293 in the forest of Fougeres, the same form seems almost surely to have been employed by his father, Duke John V, as cited by Langlois. c) V a u r i ll o n - V orillo n Since Wiliam was registered in his own presence as Vorillon at the Council of Basel (1433), while other documents procured by him read Vaurillon, we are not wrong in concluding that he himself simplified his surname by dropping the de and changing the French diphthong au (save in French documents) to the long Latín o, to produce Vorillon. Two pieces in the French National Archives, the one Latín, the other French, read Vaurillon; while this form is found also in the catalogue of the library of Jean d'Orleans: De anima Vaurillon 7 , and is adopted by d'Argentré 8 • On the other hand, apart from the register of Basel, Vorillon appears only after William's death; e.g., in a retraction made at Cambrai in 1466; in a manuscript of John Findling, O.F.M. (Ingolstadt, 1512-1516) 9 ; and in a late copy of the obituary of Chateauroux. d) Mi s ce 11 a ne o u s fo r m s From Vaurillon or Vorillan are derived a number of variants in both manuscript and printed sources: Vorrilong (ed. 1496); Varrilion, before 1503 10 ; Vorrilon, Vorrillon and Vorrilong (all in edition of 1510); Varallon 11 ; Vorilion 12 ; Vorilongus, Varilongus, and Forleon 13 • Before one opts for one form of William's name - a form that 7 Cf.

Another ms. with the same title but without the complete text is Cambridge, Peterhouse 16, f.149r-150r. 11 In Paris B.N. lat. 12390, f.3lr, mentioned in QUÉTIF-ECHARD, Scriptores Ord. Praed.

As a result, Luke Wadding was led to distin– guish between William Vorilongus and William Forleon, in Scriptores Minorum, Romae 1650, 152b and 157b.
