Guillaume III. d'Assat (Bishop of Oloron)
Guillaume III. d'Assat also known as ou Guilielmus was a fourteenth century Catholic Bishop of Oloron in France.[1]
Biography
According to the La Grande Encyclopédie he was Bishop of Oloron from 3 June 1371 until his resignation in 1394, although the dates given in the le Trésor de Chronologie[2] are slightly different. There is some hint that he was pressured to resign. After his resignation rival claimants contested to be bishop, as part of the Avignon Papacy controversy. Armand-Guilhem de Bury was the Avignon nomination, while Ogier Vilesongnes was Romes nomination.
