Argrim

Argrim (French: Argrin, Latin: Argrimus) was one of the rival bishops of Langres following the disputed election of 888.

Argrim was elected by the people in accordance with canon law, and was consecrated by archbishop Aurelian of Lyon.

[1] Despite the legality of the entire procedure, archbishop Fulk of Reims, a partisan of Carolingian legitimist claimant Charles III, opposed it and tried to install a rival bishop, Theutbald II.

[1] Although Pope Stephen V sided with Fulk, Aurelian refused to consecrate Theutbald and Argrim remained in power at Langres.

[1] After two years and three months, in the autumn of 890, Argrim was forced to flee Langres and Theutbald was installed as bishop.
