Cardinal de Bouillon took which position in Jun 1699?
Cardinal de Bouillon Emmanuel-Théodose de La Tour dAuvergne , cardinal de Bouillon ( 24 August 1643 – 2 March 1715 , Rome ) was a French prelate and diplomat . Biography . Originally known as the Duc dAlbret , he was the son of Frédéric Maurice de La Tour dAuvergne , Duc de Bouillon and his wife Éléonor de Bergh . He was the nephew of Maréchal de Turenne . As a member of the House of La Tour dAuvergne , he claimed to be a Foreign Prince . In 1658 , he was appointed a canon of Liège ; in 1667 doctor of the Sorbonne . He played some part in Turennes conversion to Catholicism in 1668 and had an important rôle as intermediary between his uncle and Louis XIV . Created a cardinal in 1669 , at the early age of twenty-four , he was provided with several rich benefices . In particular he was made Grand Almoner of France in 1671 and became Supreme Abbot of the Cluniac Order in 1683 . On 19 Oct 1689 , he was appointed as Cardinal-Bishop of Albano and consecrated on 20 Nov 1689 by Flavio Chigi , Cardinal-Bishop of Porto e Santa Rufina , with Giambattista Rubini , Bishop of Vicenza , and Francesco Juste Giusti , Bishop of Nepi e Sutri , serving as co-consecrators . His brother Godefroy Maurice de La Tour dAuvergne was the next Duke of Bouillon . His oldest sister Élisabeth , married Charles III , Duke of Elbeuf , son of Charles II , Duke of Elbeuf and Catherine Henriette de Bourbon . Louvois , the powerful minister of Louis XIV , inspired by enmity to the house of Turenne , successfully opposed certain of his demands on the king for the benefit of members of his family , and the cardinals disappointment vented itself in a bitter satire on his royal master . This was used to effect Bouillons downfall at court . He carried out the nuptials between Philippe dOrléans , Duke of Chartres and Françoise-Marie de Bourbon , Mademoiselle de Blois at Versailles on 18 February 1692 . Mademoiselle de Blois was an illegitimate daughter of Louis XIV and Madame de Montespan . Bouillon had previously refused to take part in the marriage of Louise-Françoise de Bourbon , Mademoiselle de Nantes ( sister of Mademoiselle de Blois ) to the Duke of Bourbon in 1685 and was subsequently exiled then recalled to perform the formal ceremony . The cardinal then put forth great efforts to obtain the vacant Prince-Bishopric of Liège , but could not overcome the opposition of Louvois , who secured the dignity for Clement Joseph of Bavaria . He eventually regained the royal favour and was sent as ambassador to Rome . While there , Bouillon employed the sculptor Pierre Le Gros to carve the main components of the tomb he planned to erect for his parents at the Abbey of Cluny ( the sculptures were finished by 1707 and arrived at Cluny in 1709 ) . Contrary to the wishes of his king , he championed the cause of Fénelon against that of Bossuet and did all he could to prevent the condemnation of Fénelons Explication des maximes des Saints . He was recalled to France , but he hesitated to obey the Royal order since he was next in line for the office of Dean of the Sacred College and consequently Bishop of Ostia ( his presence at the time of the imminent death of the current Dean was required to secure his succession ) . The death of the pope and the subsequent conclave further delayed departure and Bouillons property in France was then seized . When he eventually submitted and returned to France , he was first exiled to his Abbey of Tournus , soon given a little more freedom of movement , but forbidden to enter Paris . This prevented him from defending himself against the monks of Cluny who sought a parliament ruling against Bouillons rule over them . With similar motives in mind as for his tomb project in Cluny , i.e . as contributing factors to a grander scheme of establishing his family as sovereign princes , the cardinal employed Étienne Baluze to compose an Histoire généalogique de la maison dAuvergne ( 1708 , 2 vols . in fol. ) , partly based on falsifications . After losing his appeal to uphold his rule over the Cluniac monks in 1710 , Bouillon wrote a deeply insulting letter to the king and fled to Prince Eugene of Savoy in the Low Countries . A warrant for his arrest was issued by the Royal Parliament , and his possessions again confiscated . Only now , because of the dynastic pretensions expressed in them , Baluzes Histoire was banned and the building of the tomb at Cluny prevented . Bouillon soon went to take up his residence at Rome , where he spent his last days as a guest of the Jesuits in the Jesuit novitiate at SantAndrea al Quirinale , where he was eventually buried . While bishop , he was the principal consecrator of : - Uldericus Nardi , Bishop of Bagnoregio ( 1698 ) ; - Giulio Dalla Rosa , Bishop of Borgo San Donnino ( 1698 ) ; and - Giovanni Francesco Albani , Pope of Rome ( 1700 ) .
