Bernard Saisset (c. 1232 – c. December 1314)[1] was an Occitan bishop of Pamiers, in the County of Foix in the south of France,[2] whose outspoken disrespect for Philip IV of France[3] incurred charges of high treason[4] in the overheated atmosphere of tension between the king and his ministry and Pope Boniface VIII, leading up to the papal bull Unam sanctam of 1302.
