The Council of Clermont of 535 was one of the early synods of the Frankish church. Held at the Roman city of Arvernum, (later named Clermont), it was attended by fifteen prelates of the kingdom of Austrasia under the presidency of Honoratus, the bishop of Bourges. Among those bishops attending were: St. Gal, bishop of Clermont, Gramatius, Bishop of Windisch, and Nicetius of Trier. Frankish bishops tended to consult records of previous ecclesiastical legislation from the older Gallic church. At times this council is referenced as the Second Council of Clermont, and is frequently confused with the synod of the same name in 1095 under Pope Urban II.
