Historical background
LYONNAIS - ARCHBISHOPS OF LYON
Christianity was established in Lyon around the middle of the 2nd century by St Pothin, who came from the East. The Lyons Church suffered in 177 from the persecution of Marc Aurèle with the martyrs of Pothin, Blandine and their companions. The city nevertheless remains the center of the spread of Christianity in Gaul and thus becomes the seat of the primate of Gaul. In the 16th century, the spread of the Reformation affected the Lyonnais, near Geneva. The Protestants made themselves masters of the city in 1562-1563 but the Catholic reaction was bloody during Saint-Barthélemy.
