'Give ear, my son') is a papal bull addressed on 5 December 1301, by Pope Boniface VIII to King Philip IV of France.
Philip, at enmity with Boniface, had aggressively expanded what he saw as royal rights by conferring benefices and appointing bishops to sees, regardless of papal authority.
In 1295, Boniface created a see at Pamiers from the diocese of Toulouse by the bull Romanus Pontifex, made it a suffragan of the archdiocese of Narbonne and named Bernard Saisset as bishop.
Philip then attempted to exercise the droit de regale and claimed the right to seize the revenues of the vacant sees.
It points out the alleged evils the king has brought to his kingdom, to church and to State and invites him to do penance and mend his ways.
