Gottschalk of Orbais (Latin: Godescalc, Gotteschalchus; c. 808 – 30 October 868) was a Saxon theologian, monk and poet.Gottschalk was an early advocate for the doctrine of double predestination, an issue that ripped through both Italy and Francia from 848 into the 850s and 860s.
Gottschalk remained "convinced that his ideas were orthodox," [26] and he persisted in his controversial doctrines. There was no definitive end to the predestination debate, and the Church maintained its position. Gottschalk raised a long-dormant theological question, but the 860 synod in Tusey merely reaffirmed the Church's initial position. [27]

On one hand, against Gottschalk, Eriugena had followed Augustine in that the faults of the wicked and their resulting damnation are their own responsibility. But since Eriugena had denied the possibility of the predestination of the elect to eternal bliss, he had contradicted Augustine; for this reason, Hincmar ultimately rejected the treatise.
The Saxon wandering priest, Gottschalk (d. 868), visited Pannonia in early 848, shortly before his teaching about predestination was condemned as heresy at a synod in Mainz. [ 60 ] [ 62 ] A three-aisled basilica, dedicated to St Adrian (d. 306), was built in Mosapurc around 855.
