Côme Clausse de Marchaumont
Côme Clausse de Marchaumont (ca. 1548 – 1 April 1624) was a French Roman Catholic prelate. He was bishop of Châlons between 1574 and 1624.
Biography[edit]
Côme Clausse de Marchaumont was the fourth son of Côme Clausse and Marie, the sister of bishop Jérôme Burgensis, after whom he became commendatory abbot of Saint-Pierre-aux-Monts Abbey. In 1574, he succeeded his brother Nicolas to the bishopric of Châlons; Nicolas had inherited the title from their mother's brother. Clausse de Marchaumont was consecrated in 1575 by Nicolas Psaume, the bishop of Verdun.
In the course of his half-century-long bishopric, he attended the coronation of Henry III in 1575 and of Louis XIII in 1610. He received Recollects and Jesuits in Châlons in 1613.[1] On 28 April 1608 he became coadjutor bishop to his nephew Henri Clausse de Fleury, who was appointed titular bishop of Auzia in Maghreb (today in northern Algeria).
Marchaumont died on 1 April 1624. His nephew succeeded him to the see of Châlons.[2]
