Henri Boudet
Abbé Jean Jacques Henri Boudet (1837-1915)
Curé of Rennes-les-Bains during Saunière’s priesthood in Rennes-le-Château. They certainly knew eachother but the nature of their relation is unknown. Boudet is often regarded as the supreme machinator behind the scenes of the enigma. Henri was an enthusiastic amateur photographer and writer, publishing three known texts of which the best known is La Vraie Langue Celtique. This strange book about the Cromleck of Rennes-les-Bains is believed to contain 12 coded locations of treasure in the area surrounding Rennes-les-Bains, a village near Rennes-le-Château (a Cromleck is a circle of druid stones).
Boudet had to leave his presbytery on 30th April 1914 because he could no longer afford the rent. He moved back to the house of his parents in Axat, the place where he died and was buried with his beloved brother Edmond who had passed away a a couple of years earlier. Being both his brother and his best friend, the notary Edmond made the drawings and the map of Celtic Rennes for Henri’s book.

That’s a lot of questions :)
1. For an English version of La Vraie Langue Celtique check this link.
2. Boudet’s successor was Abbé Rescanières, who died within the year after he had become priest in Rennes-les-Bains. Jean-Luc suspected that he was murdered. Check this article on Société Perillos.
3. Boudet was buried with his brother in the town where he was born, why his mother and sister where buried in RLB, I have no idea. Anyone? Their headstone is supposed to be part of a line of sight crossing Le Christ et le Lièvre and the Pla de la Coste on top of the hill facing the church. According to Pierre Plantard, this was one of the most important geometric lines in the enigma.
Hope that helps.
