Some time later he was consecrated archbishop of that see. When Louis XIV invaded Franche-Comte in 1668, Grammont made every exertion for defence. On the second invasion, six years later, he resigned at the door of his cathedral. and thereafter occupied himself by raising various schools in his diocese.
