Sometimes hyphenated to Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyès but most commonly known as Abbé Sieyès.
It is the title for lower-ranking Catholic clergymen in France.
A concordat passed between Pope Leo X and Francis I of France, between 1515 and 1521,  gave the kings of France the right to nominate 255 Abbés commendataires for almost all French abbeys, who received income from a monastery without needing to render a service.
