Biography

On 13 March 1569, Charles was captured by the Catholic forces at the

bishop of Lectoure in 1590. In both circumstances Charles was an "administrator", since he did not seek to intervene in political or religious life unlike his predecessors. His half-brother Henry tried to establish him as archbishop of Reims in 1591 but he was unable to remove the ecclesiastical see from the control of the House of Guise.[3]

Following

Catherine de Bourbon and Henry II, Duke of Lorraine.[2] After briefly making a suggestion to hold the ceremony privately in the king's study, Charles, being overruled, performed the ceremony as instructed.[2]

He kept his position until his resignation in 1604 in favor of Cardinal

Abbott of Marmoutier, and was buried there in 1610.[5]
