Scholarly Info
Description MS D: The great minster at Rheims was consecrated; Pope Leo 6 was there and the emperor and they had a great synod there about the service of God. St Leo 6, the pope, presided over that synod. It is difficult to know what bishops came to it and in particular what abbots, but 2 were sent from this country – from St Augustine’s and from Ramsey.

MS E: In this year was the great synod held at Rheims. Pope Leo 6 was there and the archbishop of Burgundy, and the archbishop of Besançon, and the archbishop of Trèves, and the archbishop of Rheims, and many others, both clerks and lay. And King Edward 15 sent there Bishop Duduc 6 and Wulfric 67, abbot of St Augustine’s, and Abbot Ælfwine 55 [of Ramsey] so that they might inform the king of whatever was there decided in the interests of Christendom.
