Life
[edit]De Meulan was born roughly in 1283 in Saint-Quentin,[1][2] the son of Galéran de Meulan, lord of Neubourg and Johanna de Bouville, lady of Milly.[1][3]
He was archdeacon of Brie and treasurer of Sainte-Chapelle in Paris[1][3] before being elected bishop of Meaux in 1335.[4] In 1340, he participated in the Battle of Saint-Omer.[1][4] Being the heir of his brother, Guillaume de Meulan, he inherited from him the lordship of Neubourg.[3] However, he also entered into dispute at the senate of Paris with his widow, Isabelle de Trie in 1343 and 1344.[4]
In 1351, Jean was transferred to Noyon, becoming its bishop.[1][3][4][5]
In 1352 he became bishop of Paris.[1][2][3][4][5] In 1362, he donated the lordship of Neubourg to his nephew, Jean de la Ferté.[3] In 1363, he entered into a dispute with the prefect of Paris on the rights of the bishop.[2][3]
Jean died on November 22, 1363 from the plague.[1][2][3]
