PECOUT, Thierry. The Bishops of Provence and royal diplomacy under Charles II, 1285-1309. Medievalista [online]. 2020, n.28, pp.225-254. ISSN 1646-740X.  https://doi.org/10.4000/medievalista.3323.

In comparison to the reign of Charles of Anjou, the bishops and provosts of the cathedrals of Provence gained an increasing political importance under Charles II inasmuch as they were able to smoothly integrate themselves into the government apparatus. One aspect of this integration is diplomacy, which through the magisterium of speech, skills in canon law and personal or beneficial networks serves the Mediterranean ambitions of the Monarchy.

Keywords : Bishop; Provence; Diplomacy; Provost; Dynasty of Provence-Sicily.
