A leading historian of France`s ancient regime here presents the first in-depth study of the French upper clergy during the key period of the Catholic Reformation following the Council of Trent. Joseph Bergin`s description of the creation, character, and role of the early French bishops sheds light on broader social mobility, education, career patterns and prospects, patronage and clientage networks, and royal policy and patronage of the time.
