Who was Oliver Maillard?
Oliver Maillard was a Breton Franciscan preacher.
He was celebrated as forceful and popular, for his Lenten sermons in both churches and public places. His manner and style were rather blunt and plebeian. Fearless, he attacked the abuses of his time, and the cruelties of Louis XI. He also espoused the cause of Jeanne de Valois, the repudiated wife of the Duke of Orléans.
He confirmed Charles VIII of France in his plan of restoring Roussillon and Cerdagne to Aragon. Pope Innocent VIII asked Maillard in 1488 to use his best endeavours with the French king for abolishing the Pragmatic Sanction.
