Valdes of Lyon condemned

Valdes of Lyon gives away his property, commissions vernacular gospels, preaches without licence, and is condemned.

Valdes of Lyon gives away his property, has the gospels put into the common tongue, and preaches without a licence; in 1184 he is condemned. The real offence was letting people read for themselves, not wrong teaching.
