The Master of the Order of Preachers is the leader of the Order of Preachers, commonly known as the Dominicans.
Feynier was a French native of Bern. [1] The Dominican chapter held at Rome in 1532 elected him Master of the Order of Preachers. [1] As master, he visited Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal and then moved on to the Kingdom of France. [1] In France, he was imprisoned because: (1) he was a friend of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, and (2) he refused to allow Francis I of France to impose Jeanne d'Amboise as prioress of the Dominican convent at Prouille. [1] He was released in 1538 and died a short time later. [1]
