Currently the non-metropolitan Archbishop of Sens, ordinary of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Sens, diocese of Sens and Auxerre, resides in Auxerre. Ecclesiastical history The ''Gesta pontificum Autissiodorensium'', written about 875 by the Canon (priest), canons Rainogala and Alagus, and later continued up to 1278, gives a list of bishops of Auxerre.
