Bishops, Social Origins and Organisation of Local Power ca. 500

In this article written originally in German Steffen Patzold deals with social origins of the Gallic bishops who came to the council of Orlean 511. The study is based on the prosopographical research of all the participants of the council. The author concludes, that only some of them surely belong to the old senatorial aristocracy. The article translated from German.

Key words: bishops; local power; prosopography; council of Orlean 511; Clovis.
