Ann, I know nothing about Villon or the Duc d'Orleans, but I love the phrase:

Pissed on my chips

It reminds me of when I was at school. The boys who served the meals had "first grab" at seconds, although they continued serving the others. This sometimes led to conflict. One boy, to ensure that his extra helping was still there when he had finished serving, glared at the other server, and spat in his own brimming plate of lumpy tapioca. When he got back, the other boy had eaten it.
