Gilbert de Nîmes

Nîmes Cathedral

Gilbert de Nîmes was a prelate of the Roman Catholic Church in France during the Dark Ages,[1][2][3] and the sixteenth known bishop of Nimes, 870-890.[4]

During his Bishopric, from 876, he led a process that retrieved the village of Bizac (now part of the municipality of Calvisson) to the diocese of Nîmes as it had been usurped by the Lord Genesis, in 892.[5]

Later, with the help of John VIII, he captured the Abbey of Saint-Gilles which had been with the Abbé Léon. They begged the help of John VIII, who then convened a synod. It ordered Gilbert to surrender his property to Father Leo.[6]
