Biography

Defender of the Jesuits

Pierre de Versoris has an education very laxist. He spends in little time all the goods and the money of his parents. Ruined, it changes attitude when it is received lawyer with the Parlement of Paris in 1552. He works much and becomes one of oracles of the bar.

Very catholic, it defends the Jésuites in a difficult lawsuit. In 1565, indeed it is illustrated by being opposed to the partisans Gallicanisme, and to his colleague Etienne Pasquier.

The college of Clermont of the Jesuits, by an originality surprising at the time, decides to give to its external free teaching. The result is immediate: one shows the Jesuits to depopulate the colleges of the university of Paris. As of 1564, the vice-chancellor Jean Prévot defends with the fathers to reopen the college; a lawsuit begins of which all the kingdom is occupied. This lawsuit thus opposes the university of Paris to the Jésuites. Etienne Pasquier has a great admiration for Versoris. He says it: largely zealot of public property, singularly be-things which relates to the Catholic religion . He knows that it: took care of greatest and noble causes. However, Antoine Loysel specifies that having given all its spirit to the lawsuit , it had not arrived at the perfection of eloquence where its nature cultivated by art the eust easily which been able to carry. But by reading its pleadings for the Jesuits against the University, one realizes that the abuse scholarship degenerates into a fabric of enigmas and becomes unbearable. While waiting for a tentative conclusion which does not come, the Jesuits receive the provisional authorization to teach: provisional which will last thirty years and which will allow the college Clermont to radiate with a glare increasingly sharper.

Deputy of the Third to the General states of 1576-1577

Pierre de Versoris pleads for Anne d' Este: Pierre Versoris Advocat of this Princess, and one of most famous of the Parliament, pled the requeste, and after having represented the services of Claude and François Ducs of Guyse to the Crown of France, the virtues and the merits of celuy which avoit esté assassinated, its exploits of war, the cruelty and the inhumanity of those which swage carried the assassin to make this lasche and hateful fixed price, it conclud so that the requeste and that which estoit presented to the Court fust recorded, and which making droict on icelle, it pleust at the Court to make two Advisers, both for to inform to bring back information and other parts servans with the cause.

Pierre de Versoris becomes very rich. He is lord of Fontenay-the-Viscount and Marcilly and thus one of most famous lawyers of his time. Pierre de Versoris sells the stronghold of Marcilly in Corbeil to Nicolas of Chesnaye, before July 19th, 1574, date on which this one pays homage.

Pierre de Versoris is appointed Third-state with the General states of 1576-1577 in Blois. He is Rédacteur of the general book of complaints of Paris, then with Blois, the speaker of the Third-state.

Its conclusions are rejected. It is true that boarder, principal council and sentry of the Maison of Own way, it horn the war against the huguenos, higher and more openly and scandalously that no deputy of the others estats . He wants that: the king was necessary to reduce all its subjects to the Roman religion… it savoit that the king the entendoit and the vouloit thus . Its pleading is extremely long and he speaks knelt during half an hour. It is necessary besides that the herald asks him to be concerned on order the king.

Nevertheless, the General states of 1576-1577 revoke the edict of pacification granted by Henri III to the Huguenots, and the king, after having unnecessarily tried to be opposed to the Ligue, declares itself of it the chief.

Chief of council of the Own way

Pierre de Versoris also is alas extremely impassioned for the Maison of Own way, of which it estoit the principal council . He becomes indeed Chef of council of the Own way and guard of their seals. It Miss not of too many their intrigues to reverse the Valois and to push back the Bourbons. And the morning of the Journée of the barricades (1588) it wants to speak with Henry about Lorraine, usually . He goes to the hotel of the Maison of Own way, cannot meet it and returns at his place, while not being still with the current of the events which occur around him.

Reached from a contagious disease, it is withdrawn in its house of Paris. It writes a genealogy as of the Turner-Versoris.

There remain nevertheless extremely affectionate at all the House . When the December 23rd 1588, Henry of Lorraine is carried out on the order of Henri III, in the proper room of this last, by members of “Forty-five”, the personal guard of the king, Versorius in is very affected. He learns also the same day the arrest from the son of his guard, Charles and of his brother Louis, cardinal of Own way. Pierre de Versoris worries for the future about France, and affirms that the princes of Guise are loved and will lie down. He is nevertheless very in anger, because before going in its room, he breaks a portrait of the king, whom he calls tyrant and embraces another portrait, that of its assassinated duke.

having learned the Day before from Christmas 1588, by making his collation, the death of Henry of Lorraine, duke of Own way, arrival in Blois, it kept a very whole peace and lay down of resolution of communier to the midnight mass, being estant already confessed, there but estant themselves found badly and not having been able to go, Mister de Vertamon his son-in-law, and his/her daughters found it dead in her bed over the five hours of the morning Christmas Day.

Versoris thus dies of sorrow after the death of the Duc of Own way, Henry of Lorraine, in its house of Clichy-the-Garenne.

After its death

The cardinal of Own way is assassinated on order of the king Henri III, with the Château of Blois, the December 24th 1588, the shortly after the assassination of his brother, Henri, duke of Own way.

Henri III tries to justify its acts by pretexting dangers which the Own way would have represented for the crown. However, the pope Sixte Quint, who cannot accept and never a crime perpetrated on a cardinal accepts, excommunicates the king of France the May 5th 1589.

Is Pierre de Versoris with the current? That is not certain, the news does not circulate so quickly between] and Paris. Only one work speaks about its immense sorrow because of died of two princes.
