The Synod of Chester (Medieval Latin: ''Sinodus Urbis Legion(um)'') was an ecclesiastical council of bishops held in Chester in the late 6th or early 7th century. The period is known from only a few surviving sources, so dates and accounts vary, but it seems to have been a major event in the history of Wales and England, where the native British bishops rejected overtures of peace from Augustine's English mission. This led directly to the Battle of Chester, where Æthelfrith of Northumbria seems to have killed the kings of Powys and (possibly) Gwynedd during an attack on the ecclesiastical community at Bangor-on-Dee. ==Welsh Annals== The laconic Welsh annals record the entry :"The synod of Urbs Legionis (). Gregory died in Christ and also bishop David of Moni Iudeorum."〔From Ingram, James. ''The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle''. Everyman (London), 1912.〕〔L. ''Sinodus urbis legion. Gregorius obiit in christo. Dauid episcopus moni iudeorum.'' (Harleian MS. 3859, 12th century)〕 in the undated early 12th-century A text and :"The Synod of Legion City. Gregory went to Christ. David the bishop of Meneva died."〔''The Annals of Wales (B text)'', p. 8.〕〔L. ''Sinodus urbis legionum. Gregorius in Christo obiit. dauid meneuensis episcopus obiit.'' (Public Records Office MS. E.164/1, p. 8, 13th century)〕 in the later B-text, which, although also undated, places it 569 years after the birth of Christ.〔The 13th-century C text omits the synod and David, includes the death of Gregory (AD 604), and adds that it happened in the year of Cadfan's elevation as king of the Britons in the 35th year of Justinian's reign (AD 562). Cf. Gough-Cooper, Henry. "(''Annales Cambriae'', from Saint Patrick to A.D. 682: Texts A, B, & C in Parallel )". 2012. Accessed 8 February 2013. Gough-Cooper's reconstruction dates the〕 Phillimore's reconstruction of the A text dated it to 601.〔Phillimore, Egerton (ed.), 1888 "The Annales Cambriae and Old Welsh Genealogies from Harleian MS. 3859", Y Cymmrodor; 9 (1888) pp. 141–183.〕 The Gregory mentioned is probably Pope Gregory I (d. 604).〔The C text explicitly calls him ''Gregorius Papa'', but is late. The sources for A and B may have intended someone more local.〕 The David mentioned is Saint David, who was also responsible for the earlier Synod of Brefi and the Synod of Victory (over Pelagianism) which was held in the other Caerleon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Synod of Chester」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
