We know nothing of his See also:early See also:life nor of his descent. He pursued the same vigorous policy as his predecessor, who had been one of See also:Charlemagne's most active agents in the See also:reformation of the See also:- CHURCH

He was strongly opposed to the schemes of the empress See also:Judith for a redivision of the See also:empire in favour of her son See also:Charles the Bald, which he regarded as the cause of all the subsequent evils, and supported See also:Lothair and See also:Pippin against their See also:father the See also:emperor See also:- LOUIS

Louis I. Deposed in 835 by the See also:council of Thionville, he made his See also:peace with the emperor and was reinstated in 837. Agobard occupies an important See also:place in the Carolingian See also:renaissance. He wrote extensively not only theological See also:works but also See also:political See also:pamphlets and See also:dissertations directed against popular superstitions. These last works are unique in the literature of the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time. He denounced the trial by See also:ordeal of See also:fire and See also:water, the belief in See also:witchcraft, and the ascription of tempests to magic,maintained the Carolingian opposition to See also:image-See also:worship, but carried his See also:logic farther and opposed the See also:adoration of the See also:saints.

In his purely theological works Agobard was strictly orthodox, except that he denied the verbal See also:inspiration of the Scriptures. Agobard was reverenced as a See also:saint in Lyons, and although his See also:canonization is disputed his life is given by the See also:Bollandists, Acta Sanctorum, Jun. ii. 748.
