LEO Archbishop of Sens.

THe Bishops have always been jealous of their Jurisdiction, and vigorously oppos'd the Dismem∣brings which the Princes would make of the Parts of their Diocese: This Archbishop of Sens may serve for an example of this. King Childebert would establish a Bishop in the City of Melo∣dunum which was in his Kingdom, tho it belong'd to the Diocese of Sens. Leo wrote to him a Ci∣vil Letter in defence of his Rights, and to hinder the Erection of this Bishoprick: He represents to him, that this could not be done without the consent of King Theodebert, that it was contrary to the Ecclesiastical Canons; that he ought not to suffer the Peace which was among the Bishops to be di∣sturbed by his Order, and that some of the People should be withdrawn from under the Jurisdiction of their Bishop, that he could not alledge as a Pretence for erecting this new Bishoprick of Melodu∣num, that the Bishop of Sens could not make his Visitation there, because the ways were stopp'd up; since there was nothing to hinder the Bishop of Sens to go thither, or send his Deputy. Lastly, he declares, that whosoever shall Ordain a Bishop at Melodunum without his Consent, unless it were or∣der'd by the Pope, or in a Synod, shall be excluded from his Communion, as well as he who shall be Ordain'd. This Letter is written under the Reign of Theodebert, which begun in 535 and end∣ed in 548.
