Biography

Philippe du Bec is the second son of Charles du Bec, lord of Bourri and Vardes, vice-admiral of France, and his wife Magdelaine or Marguerite de Beauvillier.

Ecclesiastical career

Dean of the Saint-Maurice cathedral in Angers, he became bishop of Vannes in 1559,[4] following the resignation of Sébastien de L'Aubespine. He participated in this capacity in the Council of Trent.

In 1566 he became Bishop of Nantes.[5]

He attached himself to King Henry IV. He was present at his coronation on February 27, 1594, in the cathedral of Chartres, and as a prelate reminded him of the obligations of a Catholic monarch, then "the eldest son of the Church." Recognizing it, Henry IV named it in 1594 to Archbishop of Reims and made the following year Commander of its Orders.

Philippe du Bec died on 10 January 1605 at the age of 86 years.[6]

gollark: But if you ask "hey, random person, would you be willing to give up some amount of money/resources/etc to stop people dying of malaria", people will just mostly say no.
gollark: If you *ask* someone "hey, random person, would you like people in Africa to not die of malaria", they will obviously say yes. Abstractly speaking, people don't want people elsewhere to die of malaria.
gollark: Capitalism is why we have a massively effective (okay, mostly, some things are bad and need fixing, like intellectual property) economic engine here which can produce tons of stuff people want. But people *do not care* about diverting that to help faraway people they can't see.
gollark: Helping people elsewhere does mean somewhat fewer resources available here, and broadly speaking people do not actually want to make that tradeoff.
