Portrait of François II de Nesmond

François II de Nesmond (1629–1715) was a French bishop of Bayeux, noted for his reformist principles drawing on the Counter-Reformation as laid down by the Council of Trent.

Life

He was bishop in Bayeux from 1661 for the rest of his life. In 1693 he founded the seminary there.[1] In Bayeux Cathedral he undertook construction from 1700 of a rood screen, and a central tower by Jacques Moussard.[2] He also founded in 1700 the chapel of the Augustinians.[3]

He condemned the writings of the theologian Pierre Cally at the University of Caen as tending to heresy.[4]
