Gérard Gobaille

Gérard Gobaille (died 12 September 1494, Melun) was a French bishop.

Life

He was born in Soissons[1] to a silk merchant. He became a bachelor of law in 1455[2] and in 1463 became canon and treasurer of Soissons Cathedral.[3] He was elected advocate to the Parliament of Paris in 1488 and was elected bishop of Paris and canon of the cathedral on 8 August 1492 after six votes, against the wishes of Charles VIII of France - however, his election was never confirmed by the pope.[4] He is buried in Notre Dame Cathedral.

gollark: It definitely won't help people who aren't here, for one thing.
gollark: I mean, I *guessed* what I thought people might see as it, I don't actually know.
gollark: Also, I don't think anyone ever explained what the problem they were trying to solve here was.
