Pierre-Marie-Alphonse Favier-Duperron C.M.(Chinese: 樊國樑 Pinyin:Fan Guoliang Wade-Giles: Fan Kouo-Léang)[1] (born 22 September 1837 at Marsannay-la-Côte, France; died 4 April 1905 in Beijing)[2] was the Catholic Lazarist Vicar Apostolic of Northern Zhili, China (now incorporating the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Beijing) and titular bishop of Pentacomia from 13 April 1899 until his death in 1905. During the Boxer Uprising of 1900, Favier was responsible for the defence and preservation of the Beitang Cathedral (lit. "North Cathedral") in Beijing, and the protection of thousands of Chinese Catholic Christians. In the aftermath of the Boxer Uprising, Favier was accused of looting.[3][4][5]
