LATIL, Jean-Baptiste-Marie-Anne-Antoine, Count of. - Cardinal, b. 6 May 1761 on the island of Ste. Marguerite (Var), d. 1 Dec. 1839 at Gemenos (Bouches-du-Rhône). Having entered the Seminary of St. Sulpice in Paris, he was ordained a priest in 1784. Vicar of the bishop of Vence, he refused to take the civil oath and went to England, where he became the confessor of the count of Artois.
At the Restoration he was a member of the commission for ecclesiastical affairs. First almoner of the prince, he was elected in 1816 by Pius VII titular bishop of Amicles and the following year bishop of Chartres. Made a peer of France by Louis XVIII in 1822 and archbishop of Reims two years later, on 29 May 1825 he consecrated his friend the count of Artois king of France as Charles X. Created cardinal by Leo XII in the Consistory of 13 March 1826, he left France in 1830, at the fall of Charles X, and followed him into exile. On the death of the former sovereign he returned to his homeland. He believed he could eliminate the evils of the age through an appropriate influence in civil questions, but this tendency to meddle in the temporal affairs of the Kingdom achieved the opposite goal, and Lambruschini thought that «if instead of spending the greater part of the year in Paris and at Court, he had instead habitually resided in his diocese of Reims, he would have better served the interests of his august benefactor and his own».
