Title: Council of Angers, Concilium Andegavense Origin: Angers (Gaul) Denomination: Catholic/Nicene/Chalcedonian
The Council of Angers took place on the 4th of October 453. Seven bishops were present: Leo of Bourges, Eustochius of Tours, Victor of Le Mans, Chariation, Rumoridus and Viventius of unknown sees, and, finally, the newly elected bishop of Angers, Thalasius. As we learn from the letter often included in the manuscripts as part of the synodal collection (see [753]), the main purpose of this gathering was the institution of the canons against clerics applying to secular courts.
