Bourges, Pragmatic Sanction of

    0.03 sec.

Bourges, Pragmatic Sanction of

Decree issued by Charles VII of France in 1438 in an attempt to weaken papal influence over the French (Gallican) church. The Sanction gave the monarchy power to nominate bishoprics and other benefices. It was terminated in 1516 by the Concord(at) of Bologna.

The Sanction was drawn up in response to a resolution of an assembly of prelates and delegates, named by the king, to regulate the affairs of the church in France.
