Résumé anglais P.V. CLAVERIE, The succession to archbishop Giles of Nicosia (1268-1269). The Eastern Latin clergy has hardly been sufficiently researched in spite of recent studies. Thanks to a so far unpublished testamentary will to be found in the « Archives Nationales de France » we can find out more about the career of a Cypriot prelate of the time, namely Archbishop Giles of Nicosia (1267-1268). It appears that this friend of Popes Urban IV and Clement IV was born in Picardy, then grew up in the area in the north of France called Thierache before going through an outstanding university career, all in the first half of the 13th century. Giles bought a house in Paris while officiating in the cathedral chapters of Cambrai and Rouen. Though his fortune was limited he could still bequeath part of it to a great many religious establishments, among which the Sorbonne college. His death at Viterbe on 27 July 1268 led to a succession settlement that was ratified by the religious tribunal (« officiality ») in Paris in January 1269.
