As the third son of the King (and, on his mother's side, the great nephew of [[Pope Calixtus II]]) Henry was destined for a place in the church from an early age, [[tonsure]]d at the age of thirteen and [[ordained]] two years later. He advanced by stages through the church hierarchy (becoming abbot of several royal monasteries, holding various dignities which were in the King's gift), probably with a view to preparing him for a position of the highest rank, befitting the son of a king. In 1146, however, he was converted from his life as a very wealthy "secular" cleric by St. [[Bernard of Clairvaux]] and entered [[Clairvaux Abbey]] as an ordinary monk. [[Pope Eugenius III]], himself a former [[Cistercian]] monk, speaks of Henry in 1147 as humbly washing dishes at Clairvaux.<ref>Horace K.Mann, The Lives of the Popes in the Middle Ages, IX. London, 1914.

In 1149, on the death of Bishop Odo III of [[Beauvais]], the [[cathedral chapter]], persuaded by [[Bernard of Clairvaux]], elected Henry as their bishop. Henry was ill-prepared for the political responsibilities of his new office, and came into conflict with the burghers of the city. King Louis backed the town, while Henry was supported by his younger brother [[Robert I of Dreux|Robert]], [[Count of Dreux]]. The conflict was finally settled by [[Pope Eugenius III]] in 1151.
In 1162 Henry became Archbishop of Reims, succeeded at Beauvais by [[Bartholomew of Montcornet]]. Henry organised an important church council at Reims in 1164. He again found himself in conflict with the populace of his city, but was supported by his brother [[Louis VII of France|Louis]]. The revolt was suppressed and Archbishop Henry devoted himself to beautifying and fortifying [[Reims]]. -->
