Jean-André Grimaldi
Jean-André Grimaldi (5 July 1483-1 July 1505)[1] was Bishop of Grasse from 1483-1505. Prior to that, he was a professor of theology at the University of Pavia before serving as ambassador in the court of Pope Sixtus IV, first in Denmark, then in France.[2] Services rendered on behalf of Pope Sixtus IV included the delivering of holy relics to the dying Louis XI; the next Pope, Innocent VIII, appointed Grimaldi as advisor to the young and troubled Charles VIII, King of France.[2] As Bishop of Grasse, he was succeeded by his nephew, Augustine Grimaldi, a son of Lamberto, Lord of Monaco.
