Amanieu d'Albret

Amanieu d'Albret (1478 - 1520) (called the Cardinal d'Albret) was a French Roman Catholic cardinal.

Amanieu d'Albret was born in the Kingdom of France ca. 1478, the son of Alain I of Albret, and Françoise de Blois-Bretagne, countess of Périgord. His older brother Jean married Catherine of Navarre. His uncle Louis d'Albret was also a cardinal. He had three illegitimate children, one son and two daughters.

Early in his career, he became a protonotary apostolic. He was also Archimandrite of San Rufo.

On July 19, 1499, he became apostolic administrator of the see of Comminges, but on January 1, 1502, the cathedral chapter of Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges Cathedral chose another candidate as bishop.

Pope Alexander VI made him a cardinal deacon in the consistory of March 20, 1500. The pope sent him the red hat on October 2, 1500, and he received the deaconry of San Nicola in Carcere on October 5, 1500.
