Pierre Rogier

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pierre Rogier († 1324 ) was a French abbot and bishop.

Life

Pierre Rogier is a member of the Rogier de Beaufort family and comes from the Limousin ; he is the uncle of Pope Clement VI. and great uncle of Pope Gregory XI. , thus the brother of Guillaume I. Rogier, Seigneur de Rosiers en Limousin . He was ordained a priest and was a monk in the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Pons-de-Thomières , of which he was abbot in 1311: on February 25, 1311 he received a bull from Pope Clement V , which allowed him to pay 5000 livre for his needs to borrow from his abbey. In the same year he received the cession, forgiveness and donation for him and his abbey of all rights and fiefs that Arnaud de Roquecefières and Guillaume Jordan de Cornouailles had on the castle and the grounds of La Salvetat .

He became a bishop when Pope John XXII. elevated the abbey to a bishopric in 1317; the bull for this is dated February 18th. The monks now formed the chapter , the boundaries of the diocese were in the bull Alma mater Ecclesia from March 1, 1318 spin-off from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Narbonne set

The income of the abbey and that of the chapter were now separated. Pierre Rogier enfeoffed some of La Bastide's properties in 1317. An arbitration award, which he ratified, brought him all the income and left the chapter a sum of 1,800 livres. Protests rise immediately and contradict this decision.

In 1321 he had to face a revolt by his monks, because "rebels and disobedience claimed to be exempt from his jurisdiction and submission, and claimed to be in no way responsible for him spiritually".

Pierre Rogier died in 1324.
