 Among those bishops attending was Saint Gal, the bishop of Clermont.Seventeen canons were drawn up at the council, of which the first sixteen are contained in the "Decretum Gratiani" (compiled in the 12th century by Gratian); they have become part of the corpus of canon law of the Catholic Church, the "Corpus Iuris Canonici".In summary, the canons prohibit bishops from submitting to the deliberations of councils any private or temporal affairs, before having dealt with matters regarding discipline; clerics are forbidden to appeal to seculars in their disputes with bishops; excommunication is pronounced against bishops who solicit the protection of princes in order to obtain the episcopacy, or who cause forged decrees of election to be signed.
