Aubrey (or Alberic of Humbert) was the Archbishop of Reims from 1207 to 1218. He was a warrior prelate, participating in both the Albigensian Crusade of 1209 and the Fifth Crusade. In the latter, he travelled with the Hungarian troops.
He was responsible for the rebuilding of the Reims cathedral and laid the first stone on 6 May 1211.[1][2]
