Jacques Leschassier (or Lechassier) (1550 – 1625) was a French jurist and magistrate, known for his erudition and Gallican views.[1]
Life
He was an avocat of the Parlement of Paris, and then procureur-général of the Parlement. He supported the Salic Law and in 1606 argued the case for Gallican ecclesiastical independence.[2]
Leschassier put forward proposals around 1597, intended to help Henry IV of France get better control of royal officeholders, by designating the posts as fiefs.[3]
At the time of the Venetian Interdict, the Venetian diplomat Pietro Priuli recruited Leschassier and Louis Servin to write in Venice's defence.[4] These works argued that the position of the Church of Venice should be equated with that of the Gallican view of the situation of the Church of France.[5] Leschassier then became an intimate correspondent of Paolo Sarpi.[6]
