Jean Sarazin OSB (also Sarrazin or Joannes Saracenus ; * July 20, 1539 in Arras ; † March 3, 1598 in Brussels ) was a Roman Catholic Benedictine priest , Prince Archbishop of Cambrai and abbot of the Abbey of Saint-Vaast .
Life
Sarazin drew attention to himself as a choirboy with his skills at the pastor of the Madelainenkirche in Arras. He tried to train the boy. On May 29, 1556, Sarazin entered the Saint-Vaast Abbey. The abbot of the monastery sent him to the universities in Paris and Leuven to study. In Leuven he was ordained a priest in 1561 and a licentiate in theology in 1566 .
In 1570 Sarazin became vicar general in Arras , and in 1572 coadjutor of the abbot of Saint-Vaast Roger de Montmorency. In 1575 he was the delegate of the abbot of Saint-Vaast in the county of Artois , where he was involved in the negotiations for the Ghent pacification of 1576. In 1577 he became abbot of the monastery himself. Two years later, in 1579, was actively involved in the creation of the Union of Arras . In 1582 he took part in a delegation from the southern Spanish Netherlands to King Philip II of Spain . The mission was recorded by a companion, his successor, Philippe de Caverel .
After Ludwig von Berlaymont died in exile in Bergen , Sarazin was chosen on March 6, 1596 as his successor as Prince Archbishop of Cambrai and thus regent of the bishopric of Cambrai with the rank of duke . Confirmed by the king, he received the episcopal ordination on December 15, 1596 in Brussels.
Sarazin was brought back to Arras after his death and buried in the abbey.
