Christophe de Beaumont
French noble and archbishop (1703–1781) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christophe de Beaumont du Repaire (26 July 1703 – 12 December 1781) was a French cleric who belonged to a cadet branch of the Les Adrets and Saint-Quentin branches of the illustrious Dauphin family of Beaumont. He became Bishop of Bayonne in 1741, then Archbishop of Vienne in 1745, and in 1746, at the age of forty-three, Archbishop of Paris.[1] An austere man with no wish for glory, had to be summoned three times by Louis XV before he would leave his diocese of Vienne and move to Paris.[2]
