a French prelate, brother of Francois Joseph, was born in 1744 in the diocese of Perigueux. In 1770 he was made commendatory prior of Nanteuil by the cardinal La Rochefoucauld, and general agent of the clergy in 1775, which office he held until 1780. In 1782 he was called to the bishopric of Saintes. Being sent to the States-General by the jurisdiction of the seneschal of Saintes, he voted at the national assembly with the minority. Having taken flight with his brother, the bishop of Beauvais, he perished with him at Paris, in the prison of Carmes, September 2, 1792. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v.
