The Council of Vienne was the fifteenth ecumenical council of the Catholic Church that met between 1311 and 1312 in Vienne, France. Doctrinally, it defined the human soul as being essentially and by itself the form of the human body - in line with Aristotelian metaphysics, which had risen to prominence in 13th century Catholic Europe with the commentaries of Dominican friars such as Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas. One of its other principal acts was to withdraw papal support for the Knights Templar on the instigation of Philip IV of France, after the French monarch attacked Rome and killed Pope Boniface VIII.
