Councils of Lyons
The Catholic Encyclopedia
or Previous to 1313 the Abbé Martin counts no less than twenty-eight synods or councils held at Lyons or at Anse near Lyons. The pretended colloquy between the Catholic and Arian bishops of Burgundy, said to have been held in 499, is regarded, since the researches of Julien Havet, as apocryphal. This encyclopedia deals only with the two general councils of 1245 and 1275.
