Les armes d’Antoine Malvin de Montazet portent écartelé d’azur, à trois étoiles (Malvin) et d’or à deux balances posées l’une sur l’autre (Montazet). Antoine Malvin de Montazet est né en 1712 dans l'Agenois. Évêque d'Autun en 1748 puis archevêque de Lyon en 1758, il est admis à l'Académie française le 19 août 1756 au siège du cardinal Armand de Rohan-Soubise. Il n'a laissé que des lettres pastorales et des mandements. Il est décédé le 3 mai 1788.
Historical background
LYONNAIS - ARCHBISHOPS OF LYON
Christianity was established in Lyon around the middle of the 2nd century by St Pothin, who came from the East. The Lyons Church suffered in 177 from the persecution of Marc Aurèle with the martyrs of Pothin, Blandine and their companions. The city nevertheless remains the center of the spread of Christianity in Gaul and thus becomes the seat of the primate of Gaul. In the 16th century, the spread of the Reformation affected the Lyonnais, near Geneva. The Protestants made themselves masters of the city in 1562-1563 but the Catholic reaction was bloody during Saint-Barthélemy.
