Absent evidence to the contrary, the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia would be authoritative on whether the councils in 857 and 858 were the same or separate. see also: Carolingian Portraits: A Study in the Ninth Century By Eleanor Shipley Duckett, pp 215-216.

Authoritative or not, a council held in February 857 would be 858, depending on whether the reporter was using Old Style or New Style. One wouldn't be suggesting that there were two councils of Quierzy, one in 857 and one in 858. Or would one? --Wetman (talk) 23:56, 25 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
Unless I'm reading the Wikiconversion chart wrong, February 1, 857 O.S. would be February 5, 857 N.S., an addition of FOUR days. I hope this isn't the basis for your claim that there was only one council in 857-858. Where am I going wrong? Kenatipo (talk) 03:54, 26 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
According to Duckett, the Synod of November 858 was convened after Louis the German invaded the territory of Charles the Bald in August 858. Kenatipo (talk) 04:12, 26 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
