Jean de Vienne (archbishop, died 1382)

Jean de Vienne (German: Johann; died 7 October 1382) was a Burgundian nobleman, prelate and prince of the Holy Roman Empire.

[2] On 8 June 1355, Jean was appointed to succeed his relative, either an uncle[1] or a second cousin,[2] Hugues de Vienne, as archbishop of Besançon.

There he encountered for the third time the same difficulty in getting along with the citizens of a free imperial city, owing to his vigorous assertion of the church's temporal rights.

After years of war, he was forced to pledge his minting rights and his control of customs and tolls in order to raise money.

[2] At the start of the Western Schism in 1378, Jean supported the Antipope Clement VII of Avignon, for which he was excommunicated by Pope Urban VI of Rome.
