Archbishop of Reims

The Archdiocese of Reims was founded (as a diocese) around 250 by St. Sixtus. It was elevated to an archdiocese around 750, and the archbishop received the title "primate of Belgium" in 1089. In 1023, archbishop Ebles acquired the County of Reims, which became a duchy and a peerage between 1060 and 1170.
