Jacques-Davy Duperron , also Jacques Davy Du Perron , (born November 25, 1556 in Saint-Lô , † May 5, 1618 in Paris ) was a French cardinal , poet and diplomat.
Life
He was the son of a reformed pastor who had to flee from Normandy to the canton of Bern because of his faith . After theological and humanistic studies he returned to his father's homeland and from there came to the court of Heinrich III in 1576 . where he converted to Roman Catholicism in 1577 or 1578 . In 1591 he was appointed bishop of Évreux , and in 1593 he was subsequently ordained a priest . He was ordained bishop on December 27, 1595 in Rome by Cardinal François de Joyeuse , Archbishop of Toulouse ; Co- consecrators were Guillaume d'Avançon , the Archbishop of Embrun , and Anne d'Escars de Givry , the Bishop of Lisieux .
In 1606 he became Archbishop of Sens , after he had been appointed cardinal in 1604.
Duperron exerted great influence on Henry IV . In 1600 he represented the Catholic side in the disputation of Fontainebleau against the scripture of the Last Supper by Philippe Duplessis-Mornay and in 1610 he became a member of the Regency. In the States General he tried in vain from 1614 to the recognition of the reform and disciplinary decrees of the Council of Trent .
