Résumé

The Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges of 1438 had greatly diminished papal influence on French church affairs, and especially on appointments to ecclesiastical office. Since then, the popes had systematically tried to obtain the abrogation of the Sanction, but to no avail. When Louis XI became king in 1461, the situation changed, and for various reasons he decided to abolish the Pragmatic Sanction. In March 1462, an embassy arrived in Rome to formally announce the abrogation to the pope and the cardinals. The embassy was received on 16 March in a public consistory where the pope gave the oration “Per me reges regnant”, praising France, the French royal house, and King Louis. During the following years, conflicts between pope and king caused the king to take various measures augmenting his power over French church affairs, though not formally restoring the Pragmatic Sanction.
