Jean-René Asseline

Jean-René Asseline (1742-1813) was a French bishop and theologian.

Life

His early posts were as grand vicar to Christophe de Beaumont, archbishop of Paris, and teaching scripture and theology at the Sorbonne. In 1789 he was made bishop of Boulogne and commendatory abbot of Ham Abbey - he held both posts until the following year, when the abbey and the bishopric were both suppressed. He refused to swear the oath to obey the Civil Constitution of the Clergy in 1791 and emigrated to Munster, from where he criticized the Concordat of 1801. In 1807 he was summoned by Louis XVIII and served the French royal family until his death in 1813.[1]

gollark: They'll probably begin to break a bit beforehand, due to inaccurate clocks and computing timestamps a bit in the future for various purposes.
