description: "François Charles Albert Vogt was a Swiss Roman Catholic priest and historian of the Byzantine Empire. Born in Geneva to the architect Louis Arthur Vogt and Jeanne Marie Dépierre, he was orphaned at an early age and was raised by his maternal grandmother. After theological studies at the Catholic Saint-Sulpice Seminary in Paris, he was ordained as a priest in 1899. In 1908 he became a doctor of letters at the Sorbonne University, going on to work as a professor of history at the University of Freiburg from 1910 to 1919. At the same time, he administered the parish of Sacré-Cœur in Geneva in 1914–1918, and served as archpriest of the Basilica of Our Lady of Geneva from 1918 to 1929. After that, he returned to his historical studies on the Byzantine period, and was co-editor of the Dictionnaire d'histoire et de géographie ecclésiastiques."
