Origins [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Claude de Rebé is the eighth son of Claude, lord of Rebé, baron of amplepuis, and Jeanne de Meysé [ 4 ] , [ 5 ] .

Ecclesiastical career [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

He was canon-comte, cantor of Saint-Jean de Lyon [ 6 ] , provost of Saint-Pierre de Mâcon [ 5 ] . He became coadjutor of Louis de Vervins in 1622 and was appointed at the same time Archbishop of Heraclea in Europe [ first ] , [ 2 ] . He succeeded Louis de Vervins on the siege of Narbonne at his death on the 8th or . Urban VIII sent him the pallium on September 28 of the same year [ 5 ] . At the same time, he became president-born of the States of Languedoc, but 30 000 books were taken from the revenues of the archdiocese and attributed to the young archbishop of Reims Henri II of Guise [ 7 ] , which was the subject of a trial between the two protagonists in the Grand Council [ Note 1 ] . He also had the Fontfroide abbey from 1646 to 1650 [ 8 ] .

A prelate of the counter-reform [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Claude de Rebé is particularly involved in his pastoral role, marrying the cause of the counter-reform [ 3 ] : he stayed in Narbonne in 1629-1632, organizing the aid, while the region was ravaged by the plague [ 2 ] . Very active, he created a chair of theology in the college led by the priests of Christian doctrine, to whom he also asked to open an establishment in Limoux [ 5 ] ; In 1646 he established in this same city a brotherhood of fifty ladies of charity, to whom he gave statutes [ 9 ] . He increased the income from the Charity Hospital in Narbonne [ 5 ] ; In 1641 he introduced the Visitandines into his city and charged them with the education of young girls [ 5 ] , [ ten ] , then the Ursulines in 1654 [ 2 ] . He reformed the Narbonne liturgy and had a new missalm in 1658 for his diocese, very close to the Roman rite [ 2 ] . Like his successor, François Fouquet, he was close to Saint Vincent de Paul [ 2 ] . Anxious to disseminate Christian morality among his flocks, in 1641 he prohibited pilgrims from Notre-Dame de Marceille from spending the night in the church [ 9 ] .

Administrator and builder [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Claude de Rebé enriches and decorated the Saint-Sébastien collegiate church in Narbonne. He had the episcopal palace repaired: an upper hand in the guards room is decorated with a large gypasery cartridge on his arms, and he had a magnificent boxed ceiling on the theme of the nine muses by the Antoine brothers, Jean Jean -Paul and Jean Rodière (1632) [ 11 ] , [ 5 ] . In 1652 he demolished the Moorish tower [ Note 2 ] whose stones were used to build the convent of carmelites [ 2 ] .

He had the archives of the Archbishopric put in order: we owe him the copy of the Green Paper of the Juggie [ ten ] , one of the only and precious documents to have escaped the revolutionary destruction of December 1793.

Political role [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

He firmly opposed the Duke of Montmorency, governor of Languedoc, who led the states of the province in his revolt (1632); He was even locked up time to vote for the deliberation that Montmorency asked for. He nevertheless avoided that Narbonne would fall into the hands of the Duke [ 13 ] . He was rewarded by the collar of Commander of the Order of the Holy Spirit during the promotion of May 14, 1633. He received Louis XIII in Narbonne during the siege of Perpignan (spring 1642) [ Note 3 ] , [ 5 ] , [ 14 ] . It was to him that it was entrusted in 1652 to bring down the castle of terms, which became a threat to royal power, which he did the following year at the expense of the diocese [ 15 ] .

Sick, tired, Claude de Rebé abandoned the presidency of the States of Languedoc from the 1656 session, which was then provided by the second ecclesiastics of the province, the Archbishop of Toulouse Pierre de Marca [ 16 ] . It was at this point that François Fouquet was assistant to him as a coadjutor, with promise of succession. This was the occasion of a larger transaction which touched the Rebé and Fouquet families: François Fouquet resigned his bishopric of Agde and his abbey of Saint-Sever, the first in favor of his brother Louis [ 17 ] , La Seconde Pour François de Rebé [ 18 ] . The latter also received the Abbey of Sorèze, which will later return to Louis Fouquet [ 19 ] .

He died on March 17, 1659 and was buried in the chapel of Bethlehem of the Cathedral Saint-Just-Et-Saint-Pasteur [ 5 ] , [ 20 ] , [ 2 ] . His funeral oration was pronounced by Fléchier spirit [ 21 ] , [ Note 4 ] .

Note that the Rebé was assimilated to the Languedoc nobility: grand-nephew of the Archbishop, Claude de Rebé bought in 1646 the barony of Couiza at the last heiress of the Joyeuse, Henriette Catherine, Duchess of Guise. The lordship of Arques, which he acquired at the same time, gave him the right to take place in the States of Languedoc.
