 On his death-bed, Josquin asked that he be listed on the rolls as a foreigner, so that his property would not pass to the Lords and Ladies of Condé.This bit of evidence has been used to show that he was French by birth.Additionally, he left an endowment for the performance of his late motet, "Pater noster", at all general processions in the town when they passed in front of his house, stopping to place a wafer on the marketplace altar to the Holy Virgin.
