Note 261 — VIII THE ABBÉ DUBOIS AND THE SEE OF CAMBRAI[260]
Reading edition
Saint-Simon in relating his death at Rome speaks of his ignorance, his indecent and disorderly life, his queer figure, and his ill-timed jokes. Though besides the rich see of Cambrai he held five abbeys, he died nearly bankrupt. He was brother to the Princesse des Ursins, to whom he owed his promotion (see XVI. 444 f.).
