Gottschalk

Gottschalk, a monk of Fulda, studied Augustine's works in the monastery at Orbais in the diocese of Soissons, and adopted such strong views on Predestination (q.v.) that Rabanus (q.v.), Archbishop of Mainz, had him condemned as a heretic in 848. His own archbishop, Hincmar (q.v.) of Rheims, deposed and imprisoned him; and though Gottschalk recanted under the lash, he died in prison 868.
