Pierre de La Chapelle (of Nemours) (died 1219) was Bishop of Paris from 1208 until his death[1].
Life
[edit]He was the son of Gauthier de Villebéon, lord of Villebéon and La Chapelle, Grand Chamberlain of France, and Aveline of Nemours.[2][3][4] He was the treasurer of the Basilica of Saint Martin, before being elected bishop of Paris in 1208.[3][4][5]
De La Chapelle is notable for being one of the chief persecutors of the Amalricians, obtaining undercover information that shed light on the inner workings of the group [6] and burning at the stake a number of members[3][4] and David of Dinant's works.[5] In 1211, he also took part in the Albigensian Crusade, even if only for a few months. [3][4][5]
In 1212, he attended the council held by a papal legate, Robert de Courçon, where regulations were put in place concerning the chapter's office of chancellor[3][4]. In 1217 he welcomed the Dominican Order in Paris[3][4].
In 1218, de La Chapelle went on the Fifth Crusade. He died the following year, during the siege of Damietta[3][4][5].
