Life
Diplomat and Commendatar Abbot
Bouliers, whose year of birth is not known (possibly around 1535), was the son of Filbert de Bouliers, Lord von Mane, and Claude de Valpergue (* 1519), who later went to Spain with Elisabeth von Valois as lady-in-waiting. Bouliers studied canon law and was appointed to diplomatic missions by the royal court from 1552, for example to Pope Pius IV in 1560. He was appointed abbot several times, in 1557 at the Abbey of Blanchelande in Neufmesnil (exchanged for the Abbey of Lérins in 1575 ), as well as the Cistercian Abbey of Bonport and des Bouche d'Aigre Benedictine priory in Romilly-sur-Aigre .
Bishop of Fréjus
Bouliers was founded by King Henry III. appointed Bishop of Fréjus and made his solemn entry there on December 23, 1579. The turmoil of the time (civil war between Catholics and Protestants) and a difficult trial that he had to lead in Paris prevented his presence in Fréjus for the most part. He delegated the visitation of the diocese to the Bishop of Vence , Audin de Garidelli. Finally he was forced to flee and stayed in Sisteron with his sister, who was in charge of the Priory of the Poor Clares. He died there in 1591 and was also buried.
