Antipope Eulalius: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

Antipope December 418-April 419, although elected the day before Boniface I. Honorius, the Emperor, called a Synod - the first intervention by the Emperor in a Papal election - to decide upon the matter. There being no clear result he ordered both claimants out of Rome prior to a second synod. Eulalius, however, remained, until expelled following clashes involving his supporters. When the second synod decided in favour of Boniface, Eulalius accepted the result, subsequently becoming a bishop under Celestine I and dying 423.
