René de Prie

René de Prie (1451–1519) was a French Roman Catholic bishop and cardinal.[1][2][3]

Biography

René de Prie was born in Touraine in 1451, the son of Antoine de Prie, baron of Buzançais, and Madeleine d'Amboise.[4] He was a cousin of Cardinal Georges d'Amboise.[5][4]

Through the influence of his cousin the cardinal, Prie became grand-archdeacon of Bourges; archdeacon of Blois; and dean of the Église Saint-Hilaire-le-Grand. He was also a protonotary apostolic.[4]

On 3 August 1498 he was elected Bishop of Bayeux.[4] He entered his see on 25 March 1499 and occupied it until 24 November 1516.[4]

On 8 January 1499, in Nantes, he signed the marriage contract of Louis XII of France and Anne of Brittany.[4] Louis XII then sent him to Étaples to conclude a treaty with Henry VII of England. He became prior of Layrac.[4] During the Italian War of 1499–1504, he accompanied Louis XII to Genoa.[4] On 20 May 1506 the king gave him the title of baron of Précigné and the abbey of Déols.[4]

Pope Julius II made him a cardinal priest in the consistory of 17 May 1507.[4][6] He received the titular church of Santa Lucia in Septisolio on 17 May 1507.[4] Cardinal Georges d'Amboise, who was then the papal legate to France, presented him with the red hat on 5 August 1507 in the church of the Dominicans in Lyon.[4]

In 1509, the king of France sent him to Rome as his ambassador to the Holy See.[4] He opted for the titular church of San Vitale on 7 November 1509.[4] Following the arrest of Cardinal François Guillaume de Castelnau-Clermont-Ludève on 29 June 1510, Cardinal de Prie left Rome along with other prelates loyal to Louis XII.[4] During the War of the League of Cambrai, he accompanied Louis XII in his expedition against Milan in October 1510, in direct violation of the pope's orders.[4] On 17 March 1511 he opted for the titular church of Santa Sabina.[4] Pope Julius II deposed him as a cardinal on 24 October 1511 and excommunicated him for his role in organizing a schismatic council at Pisa that opened on 1 November 1511.[4] On 10 January 1512 he wrote to the University of Paris in opposition to writings by Thomas Cajetan attacking Jean Gerson.[4]

Because of his deposition as a cardinal, he was unable to participate in the papal conclave of 1513 that elected Pope Leo X.[4] On 20 January 1514 he presided at the funeral of Anne of Brittany in the Basilica of St Denis.[4] He soon reconciled with the new pope, being pardoned and reinstated on 24 April 1514.[4]

On 21 August 1514 he became prior of the Benedictine monastery at Malpas.[4] From 18 August 1514 to 5 December 1516 he was the Bishop of Limoges.[4] On 14 September 1514 he presided at the marriage of Louis XII of France to Mary Tudor.[4]

He died at Lyre Abbey near Évreux on 9 September 1519.[4] He is buried in the Cistercian abbey of Notre-Dame de la Prée, Bourges.[4]
