Life
As the son of Louis-Ernest Beuvain de Beauséjour , lawyer , and Eugénie-Marie Fyard de Gevigney et de Mercey, he came from a now-extinct noble family of Normandy with family ties to Switzerland, who settled in Franche-Comté .
He began his ecclesiastical career as parish dean of Vitrey and Luxeuil and was successively Archpriest and Official of the Metropolis Besançon , Honorary Canon of Besançon, Nîmes and Tours , Archdeacon of Gray and Luxeuil and Vicar General of Besançon.
He was also a member and president of the Besançon Academy and wrote various works on history and archeology .
On June 9, 1902 , he was appointed Bishop of Carcassonne as the successor to Monseigneur Félix-Arsène Billard , which office he held until his death.
He gained notoriety rather involuntarily through his violent argument with the Abbé Bérenger Saunière , which occupied the Vatican for a long time.
