Robert of Thourotte

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert of Thourotte^[1] (d. 1246) was Bishop of Langres 1232-1240, and Bishop of Liège 1240-1246.

He instituted the feast of Corpus Christi, which he ordered to be celebrated first in 1246^[2]. This was at the suggestion conveyed through his archdeacon Jacques Pantaléon of Juliana of Liège, whom he had supported in her conflict with the convent authorities.
