périgord cardinal priest cardinal bishop church san pietro in vincoli 1331 1348 diocese albano 1348 1364 orders created cardinal 25 may 1331 by pope john xxii personal details born 1301 périgueux fr died 17 january 1364 aged 62 63 avignon fr buried cathedral of périgueux parents elias vii count of périgord brunissende of foix occupation cleric diplomat education civil law alma mater orleans coat of arms hélie de talleyrand périgord 1 1301 17 january 1364 was a french cardinal 2 from one of the most aristocratic families in périgord south west france hélie became a major figure in the avignon papacy and also a diplomat engaged in the negotiations of the hundred years war having friendships in both english and french royal families in his last months he had been appointed papal legate for a crusade against the turks family edit hélie was born at périgueux third son 3 of elias vii fr count of périgord and brunissende of foix daughter of roger bernard iii comte de foix his elder brothers were archambaud iv who inherited the county and roger bernard who married eleanor daughter of bouchard comte de vendôme his younger brother was fortanier and his sisters were agnes who married john of sicily duke of durazzo and de gravina in 1321 jeanne who married ponce seigneur de castillon marguerite who married éméric de lautrec and rosemburge who married jacques de lavie grand nephew of pope john xxii 4 as a third son hélie was destined for an ecclesiastical career his brother roger bernard too had an ecclesiastical career becoming canon of lyon but then the eldest son died and roger bernard became the count of périgord 5 bishoprics edit in 1308 at the age of six hélie was granted a canonry in agen for which pope clement v granted him special dispensation 6 he was probably educated at first in the local school of the cathedral of périgueux 7 but in 1320 he was granted permission by pope john xxii to study civil law for five years even though he was primicerius in the church of metz 8 he may have studied at toulouse though there is no direct evidence early in his career hélie became abbot commendatory of the abbey of chancelade in the diocese of périgueux with which the family had long been connected at the age of twenty three hélie de talleyrand who was already canon of périgueux and archdeacon of richmond in the church of lincoln was appointed bishop of limoges which was approved by pope john xxii on 10 october 1324 he held the diocese until 1328 it appears however that he was never consecrated during his years as bishop of limoges 9 if he had been consecrated as zacour points out he would have had to resign his other benefices which might have proved financially disadvantageous 10 then on 4 january 1328 his translation to the diocese of auxerre was approved it is said that he was consecrated bishop by pope john xxii himself 11 in 1330 bishop de talleyrand founded the chartreuse de vauclaire 12 this was allegedly at the command of the king of france in reparation for outrages committed against a franciscan convent on the outskirts of périgueux by talleyrand s eldest brother archambeau count of périgord at the time of their mother s funeral in october 1324 13 talleyrand held the diocese of auxerre until he became a cardinal in 1331 his successor was approved on 24 january 1332 14 cardinal edit cardinal talleyrand s arms in a consistory held for the promotion of cardinals on 25 may 1331 pope john xxii appointed one and only one cardinal hélie de talleyrand as a cardinal priest this was at the request of king philip vi of france on the recommendation of étienne de mornay maître des comptes and former chancellor 15 the appointment caused a good deal of friction between the king and the pope philip had asked for two cardinals which the pope was quite unwilling to grant though he did elevate talleyrand pope john sent off a tart letter to the king on 25 may the day after he had approved the promotion he pointed out that the college of cardinals was already well supplied with the talents required by the church moreover the papacy had not been deaf to the requests of the french kings of the twenty current cardinals thirteen were subjects of the king of france nonetheless with the consent of those cardinals or perhaps one should say pressure from he had agreed to promote bishop talleyrand 16 the pope s complaints seem to have fallen on deaf ears for the royal family were again begging for more cardinals in september this time on 26 september the pope wrote to queen joanna he reminded the queen of the rules observed in the roman curia appointments were never made in private only in open consistory with votes of the current cardinals heard appointments were made only for good reason when the number of cardinals had fallen too low or when there was an insufficiency in talent in theology or canon law neither of which was the case at the present moment in fact the number of cardinals was excessively high and there was talent aplenty she should also consider that there were now sixteen cardinals of french extraction and only six italians he therefore refused the royal request 17 the pressure continued however and on 20 december 1331 yet another french cardinal pierre bertrand was appointed 18 of the two names put forward talleyrand was the less undesirable choice he was smart he had
