a French prelate, a native of Tours, was educated by St. Martin, to whom he caused great chagrin on account of his indocility. After a thorough reformation of his habits, he was raised to the episcopal see of Tours upon the death of St. Martin. He was finally driven from his diocese, and obliged to take refuge in Rome until recalled by the inhabitants of Tours. He died there, November 13, 444. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v.
