Roman Catholic diocese in France (5th c. - 1801)
The diocese of Laon in the present-day
département of
Aisne, was a Catholic
diocese for around 1300 years, up to the
French Revolution. Its seat was in
Laon, France, with
Laon Cathedral. From early in the 13th century, the bishop of Laon was a
Pair de France, among the elite.

The Diocese of Laon was evangelized at an uncertain date by
St. Beatus; the
see was founded in 487 by
St. Remy, who cut it off from the
archbishopric of Reims and appointed his nephew
St. Genebaldus as bishop.
After an attempt made by the unexecuted
Concordat of 11 June 1817 to re-establish the See of Laon, the
bishop of Soissons was authorized by
Pope Leo XII (13 June 1828) to join the title of Laon to that of his own see.
Pope Leo XIII (11 June 1901) further authorized it to use the title of
St-Quentin, which was formerly the residence of the
bishop of Noyon.
Bishops
Louis Séguier, nominated by
Henry IV of France, Bishop of Laon in 1598, refused the nomination to make room for his young nephew
Peter de Bérulle, afterwards cardinal and founder of the
Oratorians. De Bérulle refused the see.
