Agobard of Lyon
Agobard (holy), born in Spain or Septimanie in 778 and perhaps of wisigothic origin , arrives in Gaulle in 781 and lives with Narbonne. It probably forms part of the entourage of Benoit d' Aniane. It is devoted to the studies, with the religion and to sciences, leaves to Lyon about the year 795 and is ordered priest in 804, then archbishop of the city in 816, where it succeeds the Leidrade bishop, when this last is withdrawn with the monastery of Saint M3edard's Day. From 816 to 822, it engages for the unit dogmatic, political, ecclesiologic, of the Church, and tries to direct, with other reformers, the imperial policy. From 823, however, because of the increasing influence of the Judith empress, it becomes adverse. He is opposed to the statute granted to the Jews in Lyon, takes part for Lothaire against his Louis father the Piles. This standpoint is worth to him to be disgrâcié into 835, when Louis the Piles goes up on the throne. It leaves then in exile to Italy, where it is opposed to the liturgical reforms Amalaire. It finds however its episcopal see into 837. He dies in 840 with Saintes.
He is at the origin of the suppression of the personality of the laws in Burgondie, and wrote in particular against the tests of water and fire and against the belief in the wizards. He left an important and varied work (some twenty-two works), of which one of the first erudite editions is published in 1668 Etienne Baluze.
