Home > Salonius of Embrun
Two most unworthy bishops, Salonius of Embrun and Sagittarius of Gap, had been condemned at the Council of Lyons (c. 567). They succeeded, however, in persuading Guntram, King of Burgundy , that they had been condemned unjustly, and appealed to the pope. Influenced by the king's letters, Pope John III decided that they must be restored to their sees. It is to be regretted that the papal mandate was put into effect.
