Thecouncil of Pavia of 698 was an ecclesiasticalsynod convoked by KingCunincpert to end theschism of the Three Chapters in theLombard kingdom. The principal source for the synod is a contemporaryLatin poem commissioned by the king, theSong of the Synod of Pavia.[1][2] Although the council met in the Lombard capital ofPavia, two later sources—theHistory of the Lombards and theLiber Pontificalis—erroneously place the council inAquileia.[3]
Albrecht Berger suggests that the 10th-centuryGreekLife ofGregentios may dimly allude to the council of Pavia when it reports a story about discussions betweenArians and Catholics in the context of Gregentios' visit to Pavia, since the anonymous author of theLife had access to a lost 8th-century north Italian source.[3]
