About the source:
Title: The Second Council of Orléans, Concilium Aurelianense II anno 533 Origin: Orléans (Gaul) Denomination: Catholic/Nicene/Chalcedonian
This council convened on the 23rd of June of 533 in Orléans under the auspices of three kings, sons of the late Clovis I: Theuderic I of Metz, Childebert I of Paris, and Clothar I of Soissons. The city of Orléans had probably been chosen due to its at least partial neutrality as it belonged originally to the fourth son of Clovis I, Chlodomer I, who died in 524, and whose kingdom was annexed by Clothar I. The council gathered five metropolitans, twenty-one other bishops, and five presbyters representing their bishops.
