CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ancient Diocese of Vaison (327 words) |
 | Vaison, the capital of the Voconces, was very important during the Celtic period and under the Roman domination; it belonged in turn to the Visigothic and Austrasian Kingdoms. |
| The disputes which broke out in the twelfth century between the counts of Provence and the bishops, both of whom were in possession of half the town, were injurious to its prosperity; they were ended by a treaty negotiated in 1251 by the future Clement IV. |
| Vaison in 442 and 529, the latter under the presidency of St. Caesarius. |
