Thomas Frique or Thomas du Bec († July 5, 1446) was the 28th abbot of Le Bec Abbey, in Normandy.[1][2][3]

Biography

Originally from Le Bec, he was prior of the abbey before succeeding Robert III Vallée in 1430.[4]

He stays most of the time in his hotel in Rouen, because of the wars that ravage the province.[5]

He attended the abjuration of Joan of Arc on May 24, 1431, but was not called as a judge, as was the case for the abbots of Fécamp, Jumièges and Cormeilles. He was present in October at the consecration of Jean de la Chaussée, abbot of Jumièges.[6]

He died on July 5, 1446 and was buried alongside Guillaume d'Auvillars in the abbey. His funerary slab, extracted during the French Revolution, is offered and kept at the Sainte-Croix church in Bernay.[7] [8]...
