This paper aims to deepen knowledge of some aspects of Leo the Great’s governance of Eastern Illyria. It deals with the theme of episcopal elections in the fifth century according to the letters of Pope Leo. In particular, it takes into account his epistle 14 and Leo’s solution to the crisis concerning the See of Thessalonica a few years before the Council of Chalcedon. This analysis will clarify the framework out of which the formula “nullus invitis detur episcopus” emerged.
