Flavius Lucius Dexter
Flavius Lucius Dexter (b. 368 AD - d. 444 AD) was a figure of the late fourth century, reported as a historian, and a friend of St Jerome. He was the son of St Pacian, an imperial office-holder, and dedicatee of a work of Jerome, the ''De Viris Illustribus''. He was the supposed author of a chronicle, called the ''Omnimoda Historia'' or the ''Chronicle of Pseudo-Dexter''. It was in fact a forgery, one of a number of Román de la Higuera's (1538–1611), including the continuation attributed to Marcus Maximus, as scholars now agree. The suspect authorship has been widely known since the work of the Spanish bibliographer Nicolás Antonio, the ''Censura de historias fabulosas'', published in 1742. Doubts were already cast on these false chronicles before 1600, but controversy continued late into the eighteenth century. The Cistercian François de Bivar François () is a French masculine given name and surname, equivalent to the English name Francis. People with the given name ...

Bishop Of Beziers
A bishop is an ordained clergy member who is entrusted with a position of authority and oversight in a religious institution. In Christianity, bishops are normally responsible for the governance of dioceses. The role or office of bishop is called episcopacy. Organizationally, several Christian denominations utilize ecclesiastical structures that call for the position of bishops, while other denominations have dispensed with this office, seeing it as a symbol of power. Bishops have also exercised political authority. Traditionally, bishops claim apostolic succession, a direct historical lineage dating back to the original Twelve Apostles or Saint Paul. The bishops are by doctrine understood as those who possess the full priesthood given by Jesus Christ, and therefore may ordain other clergy, including other bishops. A person ordained as a deacon, priest (i.e. presbyter), and then bishop is understood to hold the fullness of the ministerial priesthood, given responsibility by ...
