 * Saint-Hilaire** was the first known bishop of Poitiers, elected by 350. He was born c. 315 in Poitiers, Gaul, and died c. 367 in Poitiers. Saint-Hilaire, or Latin //Hilarius//, was the first Latin writer to introduce Greek doctrine to Western Christendom. He wrote about The Trinity, so as to deepen his faith and make it easily readable to others. Saint-Hilaire was eventually exiled by the Roman emperor Constantius II, but he continued his writing on theology. In 361, Saint-Hilaire returned to Poitiers and resumed his role as bishop; collectively, his numerous writings and his actions as bishop led him to be considered as the first "doctor" of the Latin Occident Church, and he was declared doctor of the church in 1851 by Pope Pius IX.
