Life

Born: before 1425

Died: after 1475

Biography

1446-1448: Singer at Duke Charles I of Bourbon's court at Moulins
1461-1474: French royal chapel
Music theorist and composer Johannes Tinctoris describes Cousin, along with Petrus de Domatro, as composers non parvae auctoritatis (of no small authority)
Cousin's Missa nigrarum appears to have been lost, though an excerpt is referenced by Tinctoris. The title is thought to have been mistranscribed from either Nigra sum or Nisi granum
