Bristol, Council Of

(Concilium Bristoliense), was held under the pope's legate, on St. Martin's day, in 1216, upon matters relating to discipline. Eleven bishops of England and Wales were present, with others of the inferior clergy, and of the nobility who continued faithful to Henry III. The barons who opposed that monarch were excommunicated. See Wilkins, Concil. 1:546.
