ADO (d. 874) , See also:archbishop of See also:Vienne in Lotharingia, belonged to a famous Frankish See also:house, and spent much of his See also:middle See also:life in See also:Italy. He held his archiepiscopal see from 859 till his See also:death on the 16th of See also:December 894. Several of his letters are extant and reveal their writer as an energetic See also:man of wide sympathies and considerable See also:influence. Ado's See also:principal See also:works are a Martyrologium (printed inter al. in See also:Migne, Patrolog. See also:lat. cxxiii. pp. 18i-420; append. pp. 419-436), and See also:chronicle, Chronicon sive Breviarium chronicorum de See also:sex mundi aetatibus de Adamo usque ad See also:ann. 869 (in Migne, cxxiii. pp. 20-138, and See also:Pertz, Monumenta Germ. ii. pp. 315-323, &c.). Ado's chronicle is based on that of See also:Bede, with which he combines extracts from the See also:ordinary See also:sources, forming the whole into a consecutive narrative founded on the conception of the unity of the See also:Roman See also:empire, which he traces in the See also:succession of the emperors, See also:Charlemagne and his heirs following immediately after See also:Constantine and See also:Irene. " It is, " says See also:Wattenbach, " See also:history from the point of view of authority and preconceived See also:opinion, which exclude any See also:independent See also:judgment of events.

" Ado wrote also a See also:

book on the miracles (Miracula) of St See also:Bernard, archbishop of Vienne (9th See also:century), published in the Bollandist Acta Sanctorum; a life or Martyrium of St See also:Desiderius, See also:bishop of Vienne (d. 6o8), written about 87o and published in Migne, cxxiii. pp. 435-442; and a life of St Theudericus, See also:abbot of Vienne (563), published in See also:Mabillon, Acta Sanct. i. pp. 678-681, Migne, cxxiii. pp. 443-450, and revised in Bollandist Acta Sanct. 2gth Oct. xii. pp. 840-843.
