:''Not to be confused with his cousin, Cardinal Antoine Bohier Du Prat (d. 1519).'' Antoine Duprat (17 January 1463 – 1535) was a French Cardinal and politician, Lord of Nantouillet, Count of Valtellina, Britain, and of the Duchy of Milan, was chancellor of France. ==Life== Duprat was born in Issoire in Auvergne. Educated for the law, he won a high position in his profession and in 1507 became first president of the Parlement of Paris (the highest court of France). In 1515 Francis I of France made him chancellor of France and prime minister. In 1517, after his wife's death, he took holy orders and gradually rose in the Catholic Church hierarchy: first as bishop of several dioceses held by him in plurality; then as Archbishop of Sens, 1525; cardinal, 1527, and ''legate a latere'', 1530. Duprat's influence extended much beyond the departments of justice and finance placed under his direct control. French historian Gabriel Hanotaux, in the introduction to his ''Recueil des instructions'', calls Duprat This influence was constantly exerted to strengthen royal absolute power; it was felt in the measures he took against the grands Seigneurs and in his elaborate fiscal system. Duprat left no writings, but took a leading part in the compilation of the "Coutumes d'Auvergne"; he also did much to encourage the renaissance of letters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antoine Duprat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
