Roman Catholic Diocese Of Nevers
The Diocese of Nevers (; ) is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in France. The diocese comprises the department of Nièvre, in the Region of Bourgogne. Suppressed by the Concordat of 1801 and united to the See of Autun, it was re-established in 1823 as suffragan of the Archdiocese of Sens and took over a part of the former Diocese of Autun and a part of the ancient Diocese of Auxerre. History The claim that Savinian and Potentian were the first to christianize Nevers (Noviodunum) on instructions from the Apostle Peter 45 is not sustainable. The earliest signs of Christianity in the area date from the mid-3rd century. At the beginning of the 5th century, Nevers became part of the kingdom of Burgundy. In 763, King Pepin the Short held a ''placitum generale'' for the Franks at Nevers, at which the Bavarian Duke Tassilo was present. In 952, Hugues le Blanc, Count of Paris, seized and burned the city of Nevers. In 960, Kign Lothair of France gave Burgundy, includin ...
