Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JOUFFROY, JEAN (c. 14121473) , French
prelate
  and diplomatist, was born at Luxeuil (HauteSaone). After entering the
Benedictine
  order and teaching at the university of Paris from 1435 to 1438, he became
almoner
  to Philip the Good, duke of
Burgundy
 , who entrusted him with diplomatic missions in France, Italy, Portugal and Castile. Jouffroy was appointed abbot of Luxeuil (1451?)
bishop
  of
Arras
  (14.53), and papal legate (14J9). At the French court his diplomatic duties brought him to the notice of the dauphin (afterwards Louis XI.). Jouffroy entered Louis's service, and obtained a cardinal's hat (1461), the bishopric of Albi (1462), and the abbacy of St Denis (1464). On several occasions he was sent to Rome to negotiate the abolition of the Pragmatic Sanction and to defend the interests of the Angevins at Naples. Attached by King Louis to the sieur de Beaujeu in the expedition against John V.,
count
 
of Armagnac, Jouffroy was accused of taking the town of Lectoure by treachery, and of being a party to the murder of the
count
  of Armagnac (1473). He died at Reuilly the same year.
See C. Fierrille, Le Cardinal Jean Jouffroy et son temps (14121473) (
Coutances
 , Paris, 1874).
