Who was Rothad of Soissons?
Rothad of Soissons was Bishop of Soissons. In a conflict of authority with Hincmar of Reims, he was deposed as Bishop in 862/3, by the Synod of Soissons. The issue was whether Rothad, suffragan bishop to Hincmar, had the legal right to deprive a priest.
Rothad was restored in 865 by Pope Nicholas I, through the papal legate Arsenius, Bishop of Orta. The hearing in Rome of his case has been cited as the first judicial use of the False Decretals
