[2] The nine dignitaries were the dean, sub-dean, provost, cantor, sub-cantor, treasurer, building manager, headmaster and steward.

In the town of Troyes the chapter owned a dozen houses, toll rights, taxes on the sale of local products and the income from the Fair of the Clos, which was held for two weeks in January.

[2] The college possessed many valuable objects including a gold table with bas-reliefs decorated with diamonds that was used as an altar in the most solemn ceremonies.

King Charles V of France, when he visited Troyes in 1367, was struck by the beauty of this cross and expressed the desire to own it.

[6] Henry I used the church as his chancery, treasury and library, and tried to claim that as his private chapel it did not fall within the jurisdiction of the bishop of Troyes.

In 1177 King Louis VII of France took the opportunity to intervene in the affairs of the Bishop of Troyes by granting a diploma that confirmed his property.

[2] A scandal developed in 1266–68 when Ode de Pougy, abbess of Notre Dame aux Nonnains, tried to prevent the construction of the Church of St Urbain, Troyes.

When the pope heard of events he launched an investigation by the archdeacon of Luxeuil and the dean of Saint-Étienne de Troyes.

[2] Saint-Étienne became a royal college on the death of Joan of Navarre, wife of Philip IV, on 2 April 1305.

Nothing survives of the church apart from a very beautiful capital preserved in the Musée des beaux-arts de Troyes.

[12] Henry's tomb was described in detail by the Saint-Étienne canon Jean Hugot in 1704, and may be seen in two engravings from a drawing made before the revolution.

The tomb of his son, Theobald III (1179–1201), was placed on a shared plinth in line with Henry's nearer the altar.
