  • Notes 
    • He was a Gallo-Roman Senator who lived in Narbonne, then Narbo, and a S enator of Narbonne between 479 and 517. He was also present and seen at R ome in 469 and 475 and was known to be a friend and relative of Sidoniu s Apollinaris. He was the son of Tonantius Ferreolus and wife Papianill a. His wife's name was thought to have been lost to the ages but, accor ding to the reference below she was Industria of Narbonne, then Narbo, b orn ca 450 or 465, whom he married before 475, daughter of Flavius Prob us, Roman Senator, and wife Eulalia (?) (a German cousin of Sidonius Ap ollinaris). Tonantius Ferreolus was a witness when Sidonius Apollinaris, then bisho p of Clermont, between 461 and 467, sent a letter to his friend, Donidi us, describing a visit he made, a "most delightful time in the most bea utiful country in the company of Tonantius Ferreolus (the elder) and Ap ollinaris, the most charming hosts in the world". He was on the estates o f his father when Sidonius Appolinarius visited between 461 and 467. As S idonius relates, "at Prusianum, as the other (estate) is called, (the y oung) Tonantius and his brothers turned out of their beds for us becaus e we could not be always dragging our gear about: they are surely the e lect among the nobles of our own age". He was visited by his cousin St. Apollinaris of Valence in 517.
