Previous biographies of La Rue place him in Siena, Italy, between 1483 and 1485; however, it has been determined that the "La Rue" in the records there was a different singer.
Varem on arvatud, et ta oli aastatel 1483–1485 Sienas Itaalias, kuid on kindlaks tehtud, et "La Rue" sealsetes dokumentides viitab ühele teisele lauljale.
