Council of Troyes 1129

The Council of Troyes took place on January 13, 1129 ; According to Rudolf Hiestand's research, the dating back to 1128, which was common for a long time, is considered outdated.

The chairmanship was chaired by the papal legate and Cardinal Bishop Matthew von Albano . Other well-known people present included the archbishops Reinald von Reims and Heinrich von Sens , the bishops Gottfried von Chartres , Josselin von Soissons , Stephan von Paris , Hatto von Troyes , Johann von Orléans , Hugo von Auxerre , Burkard von Meaux , Erlebert von Chalons- sur-Marne , Bartholomew of Leon and Peter Beauvais , the Cistercian - abbots Bernard of Clairvaux , Stephen Harding of Citeaux , Hugh of Mâcon of Pontigny , Guy of Trois-Fontaines and Guido of Molesmes , the Benedictine -Äbte Reinald of Vezelay , Ursio of St. Denis and Herbert of St. Etienne , as well as the secular counts Theobald IV of Blois , Wilhelm II of Nevers and Andreas von Beaumont .

Only one of the negotiated items is known. At the council, the Knights Templar (poor knighthood of Christ from the Temple of Solomon) received a fixed rule . The council is explicitly mentioned in their foreword, as is the presence of the Templars Hugo von Payns and Andreas von Montbard .

The importance that Bernhard von Clairvaux played at the council was long disputed. His presence is no longer in doubt today, but he is unlikely to have written the rule himself.
