Tello (bishop of Chur)

He was the last member of the episcopal dynasty of the Victorids to wield power in Rhaetia through his control of the bishopric.

His will is one of the earliest surviving records from Graubünden and is an important source for the history of Rhaetia in the eighth century.

According to his will, dated 15 December 765, and the Liber de feodis of 1388, he was a son of Victor, the praeses of Rhaetia, and his wife Teusenda.

He began the construction of the cathedral, which has an unusual crypt and was renovated in the Romanesque style.

He bequeathed his extensive landed and movable wealth, which was concentrated in the lower Surselva between Flims and Trun, to Disentis Abbey, with which he had had close ties.

The ducatus Curiensis (or duchy of Chur) corresponded more or less with the diocese of the same name ( dioecesis Curiensis ) at the time of Tello, who had control over both.
