FY'OTDE LA MARCHE (Claude), count de Bof- 
Jan, a French ecclefiallic, born at Dijon, in 1630. At 
twenty years of age he publicly maintained theological 
thefes in the college of the Jefuits at Dijon, and was 
honoured by having Louis XIV. then in that city, among 
the number of his auditors. In 1662 that prince nomi¬ 
nated him abbot of the collegiate church of St. Stephen, 
at Dijon ; and he alfo created him his almoner, and prior 
of Notre Dame, at Portarlier on the Saone. In 1665 the 
abbots of the diocefe of Langres condituted him their re- 
prefentative in the ecclefiadical chamber at Langres ; and 
in the farric year the provincial atfembly at Lyons nomi¬ 
nated him a deputy of the fecond order in the general af- 
fembly of the clergy of France, held at Paris, and at Pon- 
toife. In 166S the king gave him the rank of an honorary 
counfellor of the parliament of Dijon ; and in the follow¬ 
ing year a brevet of counfellor of date. He edablifhed 
and endowed a feminary for the education of young eccle- 
fiadics in his abbey, and proved himfelf in other refpefts 
a munificent benefaftor to it. He died at Dijon in 1721, 
in the ninety-fird year of his age. He was the author of 
feveral pious and devotional treatifes ; and alfo of A Hif- 
tory of the Abbey of St. Stephen, fol. 1696. This work 
is held in much edimafion on account of the profound and 
curious refearches which it contains relating to the anti¬ 
quities of the city of Dijon.
