Maximilien Morillon

Maximilien Morillon (1516/17–1586) was a senior clergyman in the Habsburg Netherlands who became bishop of Tournai.

[1] He himself graduated from the university in 1538 with the degree of Licentiate of Laws and entered holy orders against his parents' wishes.

He went on to amass a series of ecclesiastical benefices through Granvelle's patronage, including canonries in Mechelen, Ghent, Brussels, Tournai, Veurne and Lille, and the archdeaconry of St. Mary's Church, Utrecht.

When Granvelle became archbishop of Mechelen, Morillon served as his vicar general, and acted on his behalf in selectively communicating and enforcing the papal condemnation of the theology of Michael Baius.

[1] During the Dutch Revolt he was briefly imprisoned by the rebels, and spent years in exile in Wallonia.
