Henri, Dauphin of Viennois

Henri de la Tour -du-Pin (* 1296, † end in 1328 ) was from 1317 Bishop of Passau and from 1319 to 1325 Bishop of Metz. He was the fourth son of Humbert I, Seigneur de la Tour -du-Pin and Dauphin du Viennois, and Anne de Bourgogne, Dauphine de Viennois, Countess of Albon and Grenoble.

Life and work

Henri was devoted to the clerical state, but never ordained a priest. Even as a 12-year ( 1308) he was a canon at Rouen, Vienne, Clermont, Romans, Saint -Just- de -Lyon and Cambrai, four years later ( 1312) Archdeacon of Worcester. His international career continued when he in 1317 by Pope John XXII. was appointed Bishop of Passau and on May 4, 1319 to the Bishop of Metz. During the same period he took over for his underage nephew Guigues VIII the regency in the Dauphiné after his brother Jean II died on March 4, 1319. This task occupied him until 1323.

In 1323 he pledged against a sum of 6000 livres Condé lock on Edward I, Count of Bar, in order to settle debts that had made its predecessor Reginald of Bar. In 1324 he had the castle to Henry I of Châtillon Blamont return, which his predecessor had entrusted this. Its needs, since he could no longer cover after these transactions and led his demands for greater financial resources to resentment, he resigned on 25 August 1325. He had himself transferred to the lay state, and withdrew into the Dauphiné. He died in late 1328.
