It was attended by fifty three bishops, including those from Narbonensis who had not participated in the prior council for political reasons.
Its primary purpose was to reaffirm the decrees of the Fifth Council of 636 and to restore internal peace.
Four of the nineteen canons of the council were specifically political, the rest covered Jews, monks, penitents, freedmen, holy orders, benefices, and ecclesiastical property.
Anathema was pronounced on all who attacked the king or conspired to overthrow him and usurp his throne.
The council confirmed the permanent possession of property given to the church by anyone and laid down punishments for simony.
