Choir (Toulouse)
Chorso (sometimes also called Torso , Torson , Chorson , Tercin ) was a Dux from Toulouse at the end of the 8th century.
In the Vita Hludowici Imperatoris (789) of the Astronomus he is called Chorso dux Tolosanus . Chorso led the government in Aquitaine for the still underage Louis the Pious , who had been installed there as sub-king by his father Charlemagne . Around the year 787, Chorso was captured by the Vascones , who had advanced into Aquitaine territory since the defeat of Charlemagne at Roncesvalles (778). He was forced to the Basque Dux Adelericus to form an alliance, to which Chorso by Charlemagne on a court day in Worms removed 790 of his office and by William of Gellone was replaced
