History

Founded as a diocese around 250 by Sixtus of Reims and raised to an archdiocese around 750, the Archdiocese of Reims or Rheims (Latin: Archidiœcesis Remensis; French: Archidiocèse de Reims) is a Latin Church archdiocese of the Catholic Church in France. In 1023 Archbishop Ebles acquired the Countship of Reims and so became a prince-bishop, and in 1089 the archbishop received the title "primate of Gallia Belgica". Between 1060 and 1170 the see was elevated to a duchy and a peerage.
