The oldest known list of bishops of Chartres is found in an 11th-century manuscript of
Trinity Abbey, Vendôme.[1] It includes 57 names from Adventus (Saint Aventin) to Aguiertus (Agobert) who died in 1060. The most well-known list is included in the Vieille Chronique of
Chartres (1389).
In 1793, the Cathedral of Chartres was converted to a
Temple of Reason. The Diocese was reestablished at the
Concordat of 11 June 1817, although a new bishop was not appointed until 1821.
