Chrodebert II
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
or (otherwise known as Ruotbertus, Crabertus, and Erabertus), archbishop of Tours, is said to have taken monastic vows A.D. 662. He is distinguished for a judgment which he wrote concerning a woman who had committed fornication after she had joined a religious order. The document was suppressed for two reasons: first, because Chrodebert, who wrote about the middle of the 7th century, says in it that they did not then acknowledge in France more than the first four general councils, viz., Nice, Constantinople, Ephesus, and Chalcedon. The other reason was because he maintained that Mary Magdalene merited the appearance of the. Saviour after his resurrection, before that privilege was accorded to the apostles, or even to his mother. His letter is to be found in the 54th volume of Migne's Latin Patirogy, among the notes of Quesnel on the Epistles of Leo the Great. See Le Cointe, Ann. Eccl. Franc. 3:573.
