**JOYEUSE, FRANÇOIS-HENRI** — French cardinal, born 24 June 1562, died 27 August 1615 at Avignon. Elected Archbishop of Narbonne in 1581 and created cardinal by Gregory XIII on 13 December 1583 at the request of Henry III, he supported his king’s policy at the Roman court against the intrigues of the Spanish ambassador. Archbishop of Toulouse (1588), he was appointed a member of the Consistorial Congregation and of the newly established Papal Printing Office.
Though opposed to Henry IV, after the latter’s abjuration and absolution he became, together with Arnaud d’Ossat, the king’s representative in Rome and one of the commissioners who declared the nullity of the king’s marriage to Margaret of Valois. Cardinal protector of the Capuchins from 1602, he promoted their growth especially within his own dicastery. Translated to the see of Rouen in 1604, he established the seminary there, introduced various reforming measures as he had done in Toulouse, and presided over the general assembly of the French clergy (1605). In 1605 he took part in the conclave, where he led the French faction and exercised decisive influence in the election of Cardinal Alessandro de’ Medici as pope (Leo XI). In 1607 he mediated in the dispute then under way between the Holy See and the Republic of Venice, displaying great skill and securing a compromise between the two parties and the revocation of the interdict on Venice. Appointed by Henry IV to the regency council, he presided over the Estates General of 1614.
