Maurice-Jean de Broglie

Maurice -Jean- de Broglie Magdalène [ moʀis ˌ ʒɑ magdalɛn də brɔj ] (* September 5, 1766; † July 20, 1821 in Paris) was a French bishop.

Maurice de Broglie was a younger son of Marshal Victor- François de Broglie. He devoted himself to the clerical state, emigrated during the Revolution and received from the King of Prussia a benefice in Poznan.

Returned to France in 1803, he was appointed by Napoleon I to the imperial chaplain and 1805 as Bishop of Acqui, 1807 Bishop of Ghent. But he fell from grace in 1809 and was brought to the island Marguerite, where he renounced his bishopric.

After the Restoration in 1814 he received his episcopal dignity, but lost because of insubordination in the establishment of the Kingdom of the Netherlands his dignity once again and was convicted of disobedience of the Dutch courts in contumacy for deportation.
