Description:
The former French Catholic
diocese of Couserans
existed perhaps from the fifth century, to the
French Revolution
. It was a
co-cathedral
diocese, with sees in both
Couserans
and
Saint-Lizier
, in south-west France. It was a
suffragan
of the
archdiocese of Auch
.
History
According to
Gregory of Tours
, the first bishop was
St. Valier
(Valerius), before the sixth century. Bishop
Glycerius
was present at the
Council of Agde
in 506. According to
Louis Duchesne
, he should be identified with a certain
Licerius
(St. Lizier) whom the
Gallia Christiana
places lower in the list of bishops; he was
patron saint
of St-Lizier, the episcopal residence of the bishops of Couserans.
The historian
Pierre de Marca
(1643-52) president of the
Parliament of Navarre
, was subsequently
Bishop of Toulouse
and
Archbishop of Paris
.
