First Council of Auxerre

The first Council of Auxerre was held in 585 (or 578) by St. Annacharius. [1] It formulated forty-five canons, closely related in context to canons of the contemporary Council of Lyon and Third Council of Mâcon.

Second Council of Auxerre

The second Council of Auxerre was presumably the last Frankish council before the 742/3 Concilium Germanicum. [2] Its canons are concerned chiefly with the Divine Office and ecclesiastical ceremonies.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Papal appointment</span>

Papal appointment was a medieval method of selecting the Pope. Popes have always been selected by a council of Church fathers, however, Papal selection before 1059 was often characterized by confirmation or nomination by secular European rulers or by the preceding pope. The later procedures of the Papal conclave are in large part designed to prohibit interference of secular rulers, which to some extent characterized the first millennium of the Roman Catholic Church, e. g. in practices such as the creation of crown-cardinals and the claimed but invalid jus exclusivae. Appointment may have taken several forms, with a variety of roles for the laity and civic leaders, Byzantine and Germanic emperors, and noble Roman families. The role of the election vis-a-vis the general population and the clergy was prone to vary considerably, with a nomination carrying weight that ranged from nearly determinative to merely suggestive, or as ratification of a concluded election.
