Ado 2 was bishop of Lyon; one of the twelve bishops sent from Francia by Charlemagne and Carloman (Karoulos 1 and Karoulomannos 2) to attend the Council of Rome in April 769; the twelve were chosen for their knowledge of the Scriptures and of canon law ("nimis divinis Scripturis et sanctorum canonum ceremoniis doctos ac probatissimos viros"): Lib. Pont. 96. 17. Cf. Wilchar 3.
