Tonantius Ferreolus was the praetorian prefect of Gaul from 451.

,…,

He had married Papianilla, herself clarissima femina, born c. 415, a niece of Emperor Avitus and the first cousin of another Papianilla, wife of Sidonius Apollinaris,[4] and they had many children, among whom Tonantius Ferreolus.[1] She was a partner who shared his troubles, according to Sidonius.[2] Tonantius Ferreolus had at least three sons: Tonantius Ferreolus who was a Gallo-Roman Senator at Narbonne, Ruricius who became Bishop of Uzes between Probatius and Firminus and at least one son whose name is not attested. It is not known whether he had any daughters or whether more than these two sons survived to adulthood.[5]

Tonantius Ferreolus

Unattested son.

Unattested daughter married to Aspasius of Auch.

Ruricius , Bishop of Uzès. He was called Bishop of Uzes in the Life of Firminus.[6] Based on this occurrence, Stanford Mommaerts and David Kelley postulated that "Ruricius of Uzes" was a brother of Tonantius, a son of Papianilla, wife of the elder Tonantius and that Ruricius of Limoges was her brother and Tonantius' uncle. A significant number of researchers agree with this,[7] while Mathisen[8] and Settipani[9] have concluded that the octogenarian Bishop Ruricius referred to in the Life of Firminus is in fact Ruricius of Limoges.

>>> Settipani has suggested that Papianilla was the sister of Hiberia, wife of Ruricius of Limoges and daughter of Gallo Roman Senator Ommatius of Clermont.[10] <<<

Given that a Ferreolus would succeed Ruricius and his descendants to the Episcopal chair of Limoges and commission the epitaphs of Ruricius I and II ,[11] it is likely there are aspects of the relationship between the Ruriciids and Ferreoli that are not yet explained by either theory.
