Bishop of Girone? Can't find anything. Charles Matthews 21:41, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

François de Camps
According to this article the bishop from 1685 to 1693 was François de Camps. The link is blue as a result of my producing a stub on the man as an antiquarian, sourced from George Crabbe’s, Universal historical dictionary of 1833. I don’t read French, but it seems that his appointment as Bishop was never ratified in Rome, so I am not sure whether he was or was not ‘actually’ the bishop. If you do read French, and want to follow it up, these two links should clarify the matter: In both cases search for "de Camps". Ian Spackman (talk) 12:39, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Flag of French Republic Removed
I removed the French Republic flag icon from the Infobox, in accordance with several sections of WP:ICON; specifically (quoting),
 * Generally, flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a "country", "nationality" or equivalent field: they are unnecessarily distracting and give undue prominence to one field among many.
 * Flags make simple, blunt statements about nationality, while words can express the facts with more complexity. [Auch was not part of France for many centuries, and then it belonged to the Counts of Foix and Kings of France (whose flag was a large golden fleur-de-lys on a white background), not to the French Republic. The diocese was not an integral part of the political structure of the French state, except for the decade of the French Revolution.].
 * Do not rewrite history. Flags should not be used to misrepresent the nationality of a historical figure, event, object, etc. Political boundaries change, often over the span of a biographical article subject's lifetime. Where ambiguity or confusion could result, it is better not to use a flag at all, and where one is genuinely needed, use the historically accurate flag.
