A group of Bohemians excommunicated in La Chapelle in 1427

A group of one hundred and twenty Bohemians settled in La Chapelle in 1427 living by begging and fortune-telling. Coming from Lower Egypt according to their claims and provided with a bull from Pope Martin V, they asserted that they had converted to Catholicism. They were finally accused of theft and witchcraft then excommunicated by the Bishop of Paris Jacques du Chastelier who ordered them to leave the premises.
