Biography

Guillaume was a monk in the Abbey of St Martin, Autun, [5] of which he became abbot. Around 1375, he became the abbot of Saint-Seine, a position he held until 1379.

He was named bishop of Autun on 13 February 1379 by bulls of Pope Clement VII [6] and was appointed bishop of Beauvais on 26 August 1387. [7] He was not there long, as on 29 March 1389 he was named archbishop of Rouen, [8] although he did not take possession of the archdiocese before November 1389 (the Gallia Christiana dates his solemn entry to 1393; he was however present at the manor of Déville as of August 1389). [9]

He attended the first embassy with the new Pope Benedict XIII in 1394. He was also present at the convent of the Celestines of Avignon during the burial of Clement VII in September 1401. He celebrated mass in the Sainte-Chapelle at the coronation of Queen Isabeau of Bavaria, wife of King Charles VI of France. He was also present in Rouen during the translation of the relics of Saint Louis. [10]

He died on 18 February 1407 in the hôtel of the archbishops of Rouen in Paris [11] [12] and was buried in the Abbey of Saint-Seine in an imposing tomb with a recumbent effigy.

The Archdiocese of Sens and Auxerre is a Latin archdiocese of the Catholic Church in France. The archdiocese comprises the department of Yonne, which is in the region of Burgundy. Traditionally established in sub-apostolic times, the diocese as metropolis of Quarta Lugdunensis subsequently achieved metropolitical status. For a time, the archbishop of Sens held the title "primate of the Gauls and Germania". Until 1622, the metropolitan archdiocese numbered seven suffragan (subordinate) dioceses: the dioceses of Chartres, Auxerre, Meaux, Paris, Orléans, Nevers and Troyes, which inspired the acronym CAMPONT. The Diocese of Bethléem at Clamecy was also dependent on the metropolitan see of Sens. On December 8, 2002, as part of a general reorganization of the dioceses of France undertaken, at least in part, to respond to demographic changes, the Archdiocese of Sens-Auxerre ceased to have metropolitan rank and became a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Dijon, which became the centre of a new ecclesiastical province for the Burgundy administrative region.
