Life

Philippe de Marignys tombstone

Philippe de Marigny is the son of Philippe de Marigny, Seigneur d ' Écouis , and his second wife; he is thus the brother of Jean de Marigny and the half-brother of the royal minister Enguerrand de Marigny (around 1260 - April 30, 1315).

Before entering the church service he was royal secretary, later a tax collector in Paris, then in the Pays de Caux . In 1301 he became a canon in Paris, and after studying at university, he became a canon in Cambrai , Meaux and Issoudun . On 22 January 1306 he consecrated Pope Clement V to the bishop of Cambrai . After the death of Étienne Bécart († March 29, 1309) he was his successor as Archbishop of Sens: Clemens V had the right to fill the vacant archbishop's chair and thus switched off the cathedral chapter of Sens. On May 6, 1309, Philippe de Marigny was transferred to Sens by the Pope as archbishop , he received the pallium on December 22, 1309, and was installed on April 19, 1310 (Easter).

As Archbishop of Sens, Philippe de Marigny was involved in the Templar trial . As early as May 10, 1310, he convened an episcopal synod in Paris, at which the Templars were accused of a series of moral and criminal offenses. Two days later he had 54 or 58 (depending on the source) Knights Templar burned at the stake for relapsing into heresy (they had revoked confessions obtained under torture). At the condemnation of the dignitaries of the order on March 18, 1314 ( Jacques de Molay , Hugues de Pairaud , Geoffroy de Charnay and Geoffroy de Gonneville ) he was a member of the papal commission.

On December 2, 1314, Philippe de Marigny held the funeral mass for King Philip IV, who had died three days earlier .

Philippe de Marigny was buried in the church of the Saint-Laurent-en-Lyons priory in Beauvoir-en-Lyons .
