His early posts were as grand vicar to Christophe de Beaumont, archbishop of Paris, and teaching scripture and theology at the Sorbonne. In 1789 he was made bishop of Boulogne and commendatory abbot of Ham Abbey - he held both posts until the following year, when the abbey and the bishopric were both suppressed. He refused to swear the oath to obey the Civil Constitution of the Clergy in 1791 and emigrated to Munster, from where he criticized the Concordat of 1801. In 1807 he was summoned by Louis XVIII and served the French royal family until his death in 1813. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Ren%C3%A9_Asseline International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes CURIA\RSomerset 13/10/2023 CURIA\RSomerset 24/11/2023 082e6e18-54f4-49f0-9a16-769310d499e6
