X.25
As a result of famines and plagues of 591, several false prophets were active in Gaul. One of them, originally from Bourges, wandered from town to town accompanied by more than three thousand followers. Devil gave him power to predict the future.
A great number of people were deceived by him, not only the uneducated (rusticiores), but also the ecclesiastical priests (sacerdotes eclesiastici).
The false prophet is then killed in the same year by the servants of Bishop Aurelius of Le Puy-en-Velay.
