According to the legend, Paul of Narbonne was accused of sexual immorality and a council was held to adjudicate the charges, at which he was miraculously exonerated.
[4] The council also published fifteen canons, including restrictions on the behavior of the clergy, a ban on Jews singing psalms when burying their dead,[5] and condemnation of divination.
[8] A council was held in Narbonne on 1 October 1055, to address Guillermo Bernardez and others accused of seizing church property.
Jews were required to wear identifying symbols and make yearly payments to the local parish church,[3] and banned from charging excessive interest.
Bishops were ordered to use spies to seek out heretics,[3] and those suspected of heresy were banned from public office.
[3][14] Penances were imposed on heretics who voluntarily surrendered to the inquisitors and offered testimony against themselves or others: these included attendance at religious services, corporal punishment, and taking part in the Crusades.
[15] In either 1259 or 1261, Gui Foulques, the archbishop of Narbonne, convened a council which restricted work done on Sundays.
The council presented a formal complaint to the Archbishop of Narbonne, accusing him of usurping the authority of other bishops.
These included a confession of faith, a number of requirements on candidates for priesthood, and restrictions on the behavior of the clergy.
These included regulations on behavior in churches, and required written permission from the bishop to own the Bible in French translation.
