| | Charles, Cardinal of Lorraine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Charles of Guise, Cardinal of Lorraine, (February 17, 1524, Joinville - December 26, 1574, Avignon), Duke of Chevreuse, Archbishop of Reims, Bishop of Metz and Cardinal of Lorraine, was a Cardinal and member of the powerful House of Guise. |
 | | He was made Archbishop of Reims in 1541 or 1538 (?), Cardinal on July 27, 1547 (the day after the coronation of king Henry II of France, at which he had officiated), and Bishop of Metz on May 18, 1550, in succession to his uncle. |
 | | When in 1566 François de Montmorency, royal governor of Paris and his personal enemy, attempted to prevent the cardinal from entering the capital with an armed escort, the ensuing conflict and the precipitate flight of the cardinal gave rise to an outcry of derision which obliged him to retire to his diocese for two years. |
