Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Pictures in the Collection of the Earl of Radnor, Vol. 2 La Reigle et Guide des Curez, Vicaires et tous Recteurs des Eglises parochiales en ce qui appartient au devoir de leur charge (angers, P. Bourgoinon, 1556; Paris, Chesneau, and in the same year printed translations of Gerson's Instructions on the Sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist, and of a Pastoral of St. Gregory. The diocese of Angers was at this time much disturbed by the Huguenots, and on 6th April, 1562, they even succeeded in seizing and pillaging the cathedral. Order was scarcely re-established when Bishop Bouvery had to start for the Council of Trent, taking leave of his chapter on 14th September, 1562. Though suffering much from illness, he took a prominent part in the deliberations of the Council, especially on the question of forbidding non-residence. He was back at Angers in 1564, and about 1566-7 formed a League of Laymen for the defence of the Faith and the extirpation of heresy. He died, aged sixty-six, 10th February, 1572, and was buried in the Chapelle des Evéques (in the south aisle of the north transept) in the cathedral of Angers, where his tomb still remains. Jacques Bruneau de Tartifume (1574 an antiquary of Anjou, whose notes and drawings are preserved in the library of Angers, l describes the tomb as having formerly been covered with black velvet, on which hung the picture now at Longford Castle.2 Its acquisition by the second Earl of Radnor is thus recorded in a note dated 3ist December, 1791: This picture which formerly hung in the aisle of the north transept of the Cathedral (the Chapelle des Evéques), had been, on the beautifying of the church, about 1780, removed into the Vestry: whence, in a very bad state, it was taken, and given to me, by the Abbe de Villeneuve, Dean of the said church, in 1787.
