Everything about Ado Archbishop totally explained
Ado (also
Adon,
Adonis Viennensis) (d.
875),
archbishop of Vienne in
Lotharingia, belonged to a famous
Frankish house, and spent much of his middle life in
Italy. He held his archiepiscopal seat from 850 till his death on the
16th of December 874. Several of his letters are extant and reveal their writer as an energetic man of wide sympathies and considerable influence. Ado's principal works are a
Martyrologium, and chronicle,
Chronicon sine Breviarium chronicorum de sex mundi aetatibus de Adamo usque ad ann. 869.
Ado's chronicle is based on that of
Bede, with which he combines extracts from the ordinary sources, forming the whole into a consecutive narrative founded on the conception of the unity of the
Roman Empire, which he traces in the succession of the emperors,
Charlemagne and his heirs following immediately after
Constantine VI and
Irene. "It is," says
Wattenbach, "history from the point of view of authority and preconceived opinion, which exclude any independent judgment of events."
Ado wrote also a book on the
miracles (
Miracula) of
St. Bernard, archbishop of Vienne (
9th century), published in the
Bollandist Acta Sanctorum; a life or
Martyrium of
St. Desiderius, bishop of Vienne (d.
608); and a life of
St. Theudericus,
abbot of Vienne (563).
