Felix (Bishop of Urgell)

Felix, Bishop of Urgel (died 818) was a Christian bishop and theologian in the eighth century.

Felix became Bishop at an unknown date and lived at the monastery Sant SadurnĂ­ de Tabernoles in the foothills of the Pyrenees.[1]

He first came to prominence in 790, when his christological teachings were criticized as adoptianist by Alcuin. The Council of Frankfurt in 794 condemned his teachings as heretical.[2] [3]

He was exiled from Urgel and died in Lyon in 818.[2][4]
