3I. TONANTIUS FERREOLUS (FERREOLUS 1, TONANTIUS FERREOLUS 2)
b.c.440
m. INDUSTRIA, ?d. of Flavius Probus, Gallo-Roman Senator. d.c.515

Tonantius Ferreolus was a Gallo-Roman Senator who lived in Narbonne (Narbo) between c.479 and his death. he was also present in Romer in 469 and 475 and was a friend and relative of Sidonius Apollinaris. Tonantius married Industria whose mother, Eulalia, was a first cousin of Sidonisu Apollinaris.(1)

Norbo was in the realm of the Visigoths and Tonantius Ferreolus likely remained loyal to Euric and Alaric prior to the Battle of Vouille. After the fall of Alaric's kingdom, southern Gaul, including Narbo was briefly under the control of the Italian Ostrogoths. After the fall of the Burgundian kingdom in the early 530's the Austrasian Franks under Theodoric took control from Burgundy to Provence as far as the Mediterranean from Uzes to the Italian border, leaving Narbo in the hands of the Visigoths.

Tonantius Ferreolus was a witness when Sidonius Apollinaris, then bishop of Clermont, between 461 and 467, sent a letter to his friend, Donidius, describing a visit he made, a "most delightful time in the most beautiful country in the company of TonantiusFerreolus (the elder) and Apollinaris, the most charming hosts in the world". Tonantius was on the estates of his father when Sidonius Appolinarius visited between 461 and 467. As Sidonius relates, "at Prusianum, as the other (estate) is called, (the young) Tonantius and his brothers turned out of their beds for us because we could not be always dragging our gear about: they are surely the elect among the nobles of our own age". He was visited by his cousin Saint Apollinaris of Valence in 517.(2)
