HENRY, ARCHBISHOP OF REIMS
Henry (Henricus) was a brother of King Louis VII of France and a contemporary of St Bernard. The latter persuaded him to join the monastery.
Later (in 1162) Henry became Archbishop of Reims and died there in 1175. He was a loyal follower of Pope Alexander III and first bore the title "Duke and Peer" of France.
He enjoys no public veneration, but he is listed in the Elenchus* on November 15.
Some sources mention Archbishop Henry on May 26.
