Anglicanism, world-wide, has never had, after all, a universal synod with power to define and legislate in matters of doctrine, worship, morals, and pastoral practice.

The Universal Synod of Ingelheim began on June 7, 948 in the then church of Saint Remigius in Ingelheim.

Richard claimed that Aimery fecit mihi hominium propriis manibus ("did homage to [him] with his own hands") received fedovia ("fiefs") from the Church "in the presence of the universal synod of the province of Narbonne."

Upon the final triumph of Archbishop Artold during the 948 Universal Synod of Ingelheim, Flodoard became for a time his chief adviser, but withdrew to a monastery in 952, and spent the remaining years of his life in literary and devotional work.
