==========================
Olivier Maillard (1430- 1502), Franciscan friar, was one of the greatest Franciscan preachers of the late 15th century and confessor to King Charles VIII. He owes his reputation to the brutality of his sermons where he borrows from those he blames a coarse language, peppered with words taken from the wrong places.
