Biography

Philippe de Lenoncourt was elected bishop of Châlons in 1550 as the successor to his uncle Robert de Lenoncourt. He was commendatory abbot of Saint-Martin of Épernay, Rabais and Oigny. In 1560 he was transferred to the diocese of Auxerre. His family was an ally of the Dinteville, [2] of whom two members, namely François de Dinteville (1513–1530) and François de Dinteville II (1530–1554) had preceded Robert de Lenoncourt to the bishopric of Auxerre. On 31 December 1578 he was made a Knight of the Order of the Holy Spirit.

He was created a cardinal by Pope Sixtus V during the 16 November 1586 consistory. He was prefect of the Congregation of the Index in 1588.

Cardinal Lenoncourt took part to the conclaves of 1590 (election of Popes Urban VII and Gregory XIV), 1591 (election of Pope Innocent IV) and 1592 (election of Pope Clement VII).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Sens</span> Archdiocese of the Roman Catholic Church in France

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Sens and Auxerre is a Latin Rite Archdiocese of the Roman Catholic Church in France. The Archdiocese comprises the department of Yonne, which is in the region of Bourgogne. 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. Consequently the Archbishop of Sens-Auxerre no longer has the privilege of wearing the pallium. The current archbishop is Yves François Patenôtre.
