Antipope Eulalius

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antipope Eulalius (died 423) was an antipope who reigned from December 418 to April 419, although elected the day before Pope Boniface I.

Honorius, the Emperor, called a Synod — the first intervention by the Emperor in a Papal election — to decide upon the matter. There being no clear result he ordered both claimants out of Rome prior to a second synod. Eulalius, however, remained, until expelled following clashes involving his supporters.

When the second synod decided in favour of Boniface, Eulalius accepted the result, subsequently becoming a bishop under Celestine I and dying in 423.
