Claude de Seyssel (circa 1450 to 1520) was a Savoyard jurist and humanist who studied law and theology at Chambery, Turin and Pavia before teaching law at the University of Turin. He became a royal councillor to King Louis XII of France in 1499, undertook diplomatic missions to Italy and England, and later served as a bishop, ending his career as Archbishop of Turin. Around 1515 he wrote La Grande Monarchie de France, a legal and political treatise defending hereditary monarchy and describing the constitutional limits that law, religion and custom placed on the French crown.
