OK, I found out a few things. To simplify things from my rapid search, it appears that the matter was defined / clarified by the Fifth-Sixth Council in Trullo in AD 692.

That name is used because that council created the canons for the previous Fifth and Sixth Ecumenical Councils.

No, I can't explain that further :-) Sorry.

Trullo concerned itself with clerical celibacy for priests and deacons. Not bishops. I just checked.
