The Bishop of Lausanne (French: Évêque de Lausanne) was the principal ecclesiastical authority of the diocese of Lausanne, Switzerland (Latin: Dioecesis Lausannensis).

King Rudolphe I of Burgundy granted the Church of Lausanne the privilege of electing its own bishop on 28 January 895.[1]

On 25 August 1011, at the request of Queen Ermengarde, Archbishop Burchard of Lyon (the king's brother), Bishop Hugues of Geneva, and Anselme of Aosta, the county of Vaud with all its rights and privileges[2] was granted to Bishop Henri of Lausanne and his successors, by King Rudolphe III of Burgundy.[3]

It is claimed that the bishops of Lausanne[4] were granted the title of Prince of the Holy Roman Empire in 1270.[5] The deed of grant is published by Jean Joseph Hisely in his work on the comtes de Genevois, but it bears the date 28 September 1273, not 1270. It states that the grant was requested by Pope Gregory X in person, on the very day on which he presided at the consecration of the cathedral of Lausanne.[6] On 28 September 1273, however, Pope Gregory was in Reggio Emiliana, on his way to France for the Second Council of Lyon.[7] The cathedral of Lausanne was consecrated by Gregory X in 1275, not 1273, and on 20 October, not 28 September.[8] The deed of grant has been labelled a forgery.[9]

In the 15th century, the bishops of Lausanne still style themselves episcopus et comes.[10]

The Sovereign Council of Bern secularized the bishopric in 1536.[11] Bishop Sébastien de Montfalcon fled into exile, first in Évian-les-Bains, and then in Burgundy.

Since 1924, the dioceses have been combined as the Catholic diocese of Fribourg, Lausanne, and Geneva,[12] which has its episcopal seat in Fribourg.

  23. ^ On the death of Bishop Hartmann, a struggle took place between Count Boso, who was trying to separate the territories of the Jura from imperial allegiance and become king of Burgundy, and the Emperor Charles the Fat. Under pressure from Boso, the clergy and people chose Hieronymus. Pope John VIII ordered the archbishop of Besançon that no bishop was to be consecrated for Lausanne on order of the king or at the demand of the people; he confirmed the election of Hieronymus.

  31. ^ Landri (of Durnec, Durnac, Durnay, or Durnes) had been Dean of the cathedral of S. Jean de Besançon. He was consecrated perhaps in 1160. At Lausanne, he built the castles of Lucens and Poedour, and a wall and tower at the castle of Curtilia, as well as fortifications for Lausanne itself. He governed the church of Lausanne for 19 years, according to Conon, but was denounced to the pope on grounds of inconentia et insuffiencia, and resigned in the second half of 1177.

  36. ^ Born in Bruxelles c. 1182, Boniface began study at Paris at the age of 17, eventually taking degrees in humanities and theology. When the university closed in 1229, he relocated to Cologne, where he was appointed scholarius. Requested by cathedral Chapter of Lausanne, he arrived there on 11 March 1231, and was immediately offered a canonry and then elected bishop. On 15 July 1239, Pope Gregory IX wrote to the Chapter of Lausanne to announce the resignation of Boniface, and to authorize the election of his successor. In his farewell letter to the Chapter, Boniface mentioned (Conon, p. 52) that he was being impeded by friends and agents of the Emperor Frederick II: Insuper sciatis quod omnes literas de causa Chunicensis ecclesie dimisi Rome in domo Predicatorum, in archa quadam parua clausa, exhibendas tantum episcopo Lausannensi vel nuncio suo. In quibus quia fit mentio frequens de imperatore et baliuis suis. nullus auderet ferre litteras ipsas de curia. Fauorabilem habui dominum papam et omnes fratres in predicta causa. Set fortes aduersarios inueni: Notarium domini pape, et Magistrum Iohannem capuan., et Conradum Marescalcum pape, qui sunt fratres de domo Theuthonicorum." Boniface retired to the monastery La-Chambre-Ste. Marie near Bruxelles, where he died on 19 February 1258 (or 1259). Schmitt, Vol. 2 pp. 1-15. Eubel I, p. 296 with note 1.

He was a canon of the cathedral of Lausanne by 1250, and its treasurer; and also canon of Geneva, and Dean of the collegiate church of Ceyserieu (by 1267). He was elected bishop of Lausanne on 21 July 1273, but was still bishop-elect in December 1273. He made his Will on 20 March 1301, and died the next day. Schmitt, vol. 2, pp. 43-71. Reymond, pp. 289-290.
  39. ^ Girard was the son of Ulrich, lord of Vuippens, and Agnes, the sister of the knight Otto de Grandson, the friend of King Edward I of England. He was a canon of York by 1286, and a canon of Litchfield in 1289. He was rector of the parish of Waddington in the diocese of Lincoln, and of Greystok in the diocese of Carlisle, for which he required a dispensation for plurality, which was granted by Pope Nicholas IV on 12 December 1289. He was appointed Archdeacon of Richmond and was admitted on 22 May 1290. On 22 April 1299, he was appointed by King Edward to an embassy to France, to conclude a peace with King Philip IV of France, and named one of six commissioners to hand over captured French territories to the papal legate, Bishop Rainaldo Concoreggi. He was elected bishop of Lausanne in the second half of 1301. In January 1301, Bishop Aimon of Geneva and four others arbitrated between the bishop of Lausanne and the bourgeois of the city of Lausanne, who had attacked the bishop with open force: Lullin & Le Fort (1866), Régeste genevois, p. 385, no. 1539. On 5 June 1306, he was co-consecrator of Fr. Hugues, O.Cist., as bishop of Tiberias: Lullin & Le Fort, p. 397, no. 1582. Bishop Gérard was transferred by Pope Clement V to the diocese of Basel on 30 July 1309, where he died on 17 March 1325. Eubel I, pp. 129, 309. Reymond, pp. 466-467.

  43. ^ Jean de Bertrand was the son of Jean, seigneur de Brussol (Tarentaise). He held the degree of Doctor in utroque iure, and was a canon of Tarentaise and Provost of Aire (diocese of Terouane). The appointment of a bishop had been reserved to the papacy, and therefore he was appointed by Pope Benedict XII on 6 May 1341. He was transferred to the archdiocese of Tarentaise on 20 November 1342, by Pope Clement VI. He died in March 1365. Schmitt, Vol. 2, pp. 102-106. Reymond, pp. 270-271.

He was provost of the cathedral Chapter of Lausanne. He was appointed bishop (provided) by Pope Gregory IX on 19 March 1375. Bishop Guy died on 11 June 1394. Schmitt, Vol. 2, pp. 128-136. Eubel I, p. 297.
  48. ^ Aimo, Patriarch of Jerusalem, was appointed by Pope Clement VII (Avignon Obedience) on 24 June 1394; his authority was revoked upon the appointment of a new bishop on 7 August 1394. Eubel I, p. 297.
  49. ^ Guillaume was appointed on 13 August 1406, by Pope Benedict XIII (Avignon Obedience), Eubel I, p. 297. He died, according to Schmitt, in mid-March 1431. Reymond, p. 40, puts his death on 20 May 1431. On 2 January 1432, representatives of the Chapter of Lausanne swore an oath to preserve the goods of the diocese intact; on that day, the see was still vacant. Schmitt, vol. 2, p. 159-160.
  50. ^ Louis de la Palud was abbot of the monastery of Tournus (diocese of Chalon) and a consultor at the Council of Basel. He was appointed (provided) by Pope Eugenius IV in a letter of 8 June 1431, in which he reminded the Chapter of Lausanne that his predecessors had reserved the right to appoint the bishops of Lausanne (Reymond, p. 40). The Chapter was not pleased. Bishop Louis was transferred to Avignon on 4 November 1433. Eubel II, pp. 100, 173.

  53. ^ In the troubles accompanying the forced election of François de Savoie, Pope Paul II issued a bull on 29 July 1469, appointing Bishop Barthélémy Chuet of Nice, who was also a canon of Lausanne and chaplain of Duke Amadeus IX of Savoy, as Apostolic Administrator of the diocese of Lausanne in both spirituals and temporals, for a period of two years. He also reserved to himself the appointment of the next bishop, and deferred such appointment until the situation in Savoy was more stable. Bishop Barthélémy arrived on 4 September. His mandate expired on 30 July 1471, and his powers devolved upon a board of 4 syndics elected by the cathedral Chapter. On 14 December 1471, Bishop Barthélémy returned to Lausanne, with a new mandate from Pope Sixtus IV. Both the canons and the duke refused to receive the papal letters, and refused to admit the bishop. Schmitt, Vol. 2, pp. 202-205.
  54. ^ On 20 February 1473, after opposition, Jean de Compeys took possession of the diocese of Lausanne in the name of Cardinal della Rovere (Schmitt, p. 208). In a letter of 23 July 1476, Pope Sixtus announced to the Chapter of Lausanne that he had accepted the resignation of Cardinal della Rovere; in the same letter he announced that he had appointed Benoît de Montferrand to the vacant bishopric.
