Chapelle royale
The chapelle royale (chapel royal) was the musical establishment attached to the royal chapel of the French kings. The term may also be applied to the chapel buildings, the Chapelle royale de Versailles. The establishment included a choir, organist and instrumentalists and was separate from the "musique du chambre" which performed secular music. In 1511 Louis XII decided the responsibilities of the treasurer of the Sainte-Chapelle and the master of the chapelle royale. The death, and sumptuous 40-day funeral of Louis' wife, Anne of Brittany in 1514 marks the origin of a unified "chapelle royale" combining  the chapels of both Louis and Anne. Though at Anne's funeral the two chapels sang separately for the last time. Louis' "Chapelle du Roi" led by Antoine de Févin, included Johannes Prioris, Costanzo Festa, and Antoine de Longueval but not Jean Braconnier (died 1512). Anne's "Chapelle de la Reine" led by Antoine Divitis included Jean Mouton, Jean Richafort, Claudin de Sermisy, and Pierre Moulu. Maîtres and sous-maîtres of the Chapelle Royale.
