Saint Augustine of Hippo (4th century) would be the first to have a somewhat articulated theology of limbo. The position was neither confirmed nor denied in 418 at the Council of Carthage, but by the 5th or 6th century it was generally accepted.
Augustine only believed in an "Infant's limbo", that is that an unbaptized child would not be cast into Hell due to God's mercy but could not obtain the reward of Heaven because they were not a member of the church. The theology would develop in the coming centuries until it became similar to Purgatory with the notable exception that limbo is generally considered a permanent "residence".
