Life
Aymeric was born Saint-Junien from a noble family of Limousin.[3][4] He was a professor of law and later canon and deacon of Paris[3][4] before being appointed bishop in 1368[1][2]. In 1374 was named executor of Charles V's testament[3][4][5], being one of his advisers[3].
In 1381, Aymeric arrested and trialed Hugues Aubriot who, however, managed to avoid the death penalty[3][4]. Aubriot was later freed during the Harelle, which forced the bishop to flee the city[3].
In the concistory of the 23rd of December 1383, Aymeric was elected pseudocardinal and priest of Sant'Eusebio by Antipope Clement VII.[1][2][3][4][5]
Aymeric died the 21st of March 1385[2][3][4].
