Ancient Diocese of Tréguier
The former Breton and French diocese of Tréguier existed in Lower Brittany from about the sixth century, or later, to the French Revolution. Its see was at Tréguier, in the modern department of Côtes-d'Armor.
The title continues in the contemporary diocese of Saint-Brieuc and Tréguier.
History
St. Tudgual, nephew of St. Brieuc, was appointed by the latter at the close of the fifth century as superior of the monastery of Tréguier, which he had founded. The biography of St. Tudgual, composed after the middle of the ninth century, relates that King Childebert had him consecrated Bishop of Tréguier; but Louis Duchesne argued that it was King Nomenoe who, in the middle of the ninth century, raised the monastery of Tréguier to the dignity of an episcopal see.
Numerous synods were held at Tréguier in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and passed regulations for the discipline of the Breton churches.[1]
