Melantius (bishop Of Toledo)
Melantius (Spanish: ''Melancio''; died c.324) was a Romano-Hispanic Bishop of Toledo from the end of the 3rd Century to the beginning of the 4th century, whose name only appears in the minutes of the Synod of Elvira in contemporary sources. Biography Melantius was the bishop of Toledo during the Synod of Elvira, which occurred sometime between 300-324. Because of this, he does not appear in the some episcopal lists like the one from the '' Glosas Emilianenses''. J.F. Rivera believed that he was Pelagius, the first bishop to appear in the ''Glosas''. Conversely, Enrique Flórez believes that Melantius is the evidence that Pelagius may have had other predecessors, he also based this on his belief in the legendary St. Eugenius the Martyr who is often listed at the first bishop of Toledo. Flórez indicates that Melantius must have been bishop for a number of years and was consecrated towards the end of the 3rd Century (the inscriptions in the acts suggest that Melantius was old in co ...

Roman Spain
Hispania was the Roman name for the Iberian Peninsula. Under the Roman Republic, Hispania was divided into two provinces: Hispania Citerior and Hispania Ulterior. During the Principate, Hispania Ulterior was divided into two new provinces, Baetica and Lusitania, while Hispania Citerior was renamed Hispania Tarraconensis. Subsequently, the western part of Tarraconensis was split off, initially as Hispania Nova, which was later renamed "Callaecia" (or Gallaecia, whence modern Galicia). From Diocletian's Tetrarchy (AD 293) onwards, the south of the remainder of Tarraconensis was again split off as Carthaginensis, and all of the mainland Hispanic provinces, along with the Balearic Islands and the North African province of Mauretania Tingitana, were later grouped into a civil diocese headed by a ''vicarius''. The name Hispania was also used in the period of Visigothic rule. The modern place names of Spain and Hispaniola are both derived from ''Hispania''. Etymology The origin o ...

Leocadia
Saint Leocadia (; ) is a Spanish saint. She is thought to have suffered martyrdom and died on December 9, ca. 304, in the Diocletianic Persecution. The feast day for St. Leocadia of Toledo appears under 9 December in the historical martyrologies of the ninth century. Her name is not mentioned by Prudentius in his hymn on the martyrs of Spain. However, in very early times there was a church dedicated to her at Toledo, Spain, Toledo. In the first half of the seventh century "the church of Saint Leocadia" was mentioned as the meeting-place of the Fourth Synod of Toledo in 633, as well as of the Fifth Council of Toledo, fifth in 636, and the Sixth Council of Toledo, sixth in 638. Of her veneration, the ''Catholic Encyclopedia'' writes that "long before that date, therefore, Leocadia must have been publicly honoured as a martyr. The basilica in question was evidently erected over her Grave (burial), grave. There is no doubt of the historical fact of her martyrdom, whilst the date ...

4th-century Bishops In Hispania
The 4th century was the time period from 301 CE (represented by the Roman numerals CCCI) to 400 CE (CD) in accordance with the Julian calendar. In the West, the early part of the century was shaped by Constantine the Great, who became the first Roman emperor to adopt Christianity. Gaining sole reign of the empire, he is also noted for re-establishing a single imperial capital, choosing the site of ancient Byzantium in 330 (over the current capitals, which had effectively been changed by Diocletian's reforms to Milan in the West, and Nicomedeia in the East) to build the city soon called Nova Roma (New Rome); it was later renamed Constantinople in his honor. The last emperor to control both the eastern and western halves of the empire was Theodosius I. As the century progressed after his death, it became increasingly apparent that the empire had changed in many ways since the time of Augustus. The two-emperor system originally established by Diocletian in the previous century fel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pelagius Of Toledo
Pelagius (; c. 354–418) was a British ( Brittonic) theologian known for promoting a system of doctrines (termed Pelagianism by his opponents) which emphasized human choice in salvation and denied original sin. Pelagius was accused of heresy at the Synod of Diospolis in 415 and his doctrines were harshly criticized by Augustine of Hippo, especially the Pelagian views about mankind's good nature and individual responsibility for choosing asceticism. Pelagius especially stressed the freedom of human will. Very little is known about the personal life and career of Pelagius. Beginnings Pelagius was active between about 390 and 418. He was said by his contemporaries, such as Augustine of Hippo, Prosper of Aquitaine, Marius Mercator, and Paul Orosius, to have been of Celtic British origin. Jerome apparently thought that Pelagius was Irish, suggesting that he was "stuffed with Irish porridge" (). He was tall in stature and portly in appearance. Pelagius was also highly educated, sp ...
