Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
COLOMBIER, PIERRE BERTRAND DE (1299-1361) , French cardinal and diplomatist, was born at Colombier in Ardeche. He was nephew and namesake of Cardinal Pierre Bertrand of
Annonay
 . After a careful juristic education he was successively
advocate
 
    See Also:
at the parlement of Paris, intendant of the council of the
count
  of Nevers (1321), and counsellor-clerk to the parlement (1329). Having taken holy orders, he became dean of St Quentin in 1330, and was employed to negotiate the
marriage
  of the duke of Normandy, the future king John the Good of France, with the daughter of the king of Bohemia. In 1335 he became
bishop
  of Nevers, in 1339 of
Arras
 , and contributed to bring the county of
Flanders
  into the kingdom of France. Created cardinal priest of St Susanna in 1344, he was employed by the
pope
  on important missions, notably to negotiate peace or an armistice between France and England. Having become
bishop
  of Ostia in 1353, he was sent next year to Charles IV. of Germany, and induced him to come to Italy to be crowned emperor at Rome, 1355. In 1356 he went to France to try to arrange a peace with England, and died in 1361 at the priory of Montaud near Avignon.
