Guillaume de Lamoignon (1617-1677)

"Guillaume de Lamoignon (1617–1677) was a French jurist. He is known for work which he did towards preparing the codification of French laws.

He became in 1644 master of requests in the Parlement. He took an active part in the Fronde of the Parlement against Mazarin.

He became first president of the Parlement in 1658. A distinguished member of the Compagnie du Saint-Sacrement, he was greatly devoted to the Catholic cause. He induced Colbert to give up the idea of putting back to twenty-seven the age for ordination to priesthood, and the years required for monastic vows to twenty for the women and twenty-seven for the men.
