Guillaume Court

Guillaume Court was a French Cistercian theologian and Cardinal.
He was briefly bishop of Nîmes, and then bishop of Albi, in 1337, but only for a year, as Pope [Benedict XII] shortly elevated him to the cardinalate. He was the nephew of Benedict, who as Jacques Fournier had been a bishop of Mirepoix active in hunting heresy in south-west France; and in any case was a countryman and supporter in these activities.
Subsequently he investigated several cases of Franciscan spirituals under suspicion. The major work Liber secretorum eventuum of Joannes [de Rupescissa] was written to his order. In decisions of an Avignon theological tribune he headed in 1354, Joannes de Rupescissa was cleared; John of Castillon and Francis of Arquata were condemned and burned.
