The paper takes into exam references to Ambrose in the Three Chapters Controversy. While Ambrose could have made a suitable patron for the cause of the defenders of the Three Chapters, his name was almost never made in the numerous texts produced at the time: seldom in the theological debates over the orthodoxy of the condemnation, never during the schism where the Church of Milan was deeply involved. Ambrose’s name was made forward by the Roman church when popeGregory the Great wrote to the freshly reunited Milanese people. Asserting that any bishop of Milan should be vicarius sancti Ambrosii, Gregory designated Ambrose as the herald of Roman orthodoxy, as opposed to the claims of theological purity made by the Aquileian Church.
