Life

Agustius (also known as Eusepius) was in the 6th century the Catholic bishop of Oloron, in France. The historical records of the time are sparse, so little is known about his origins, career or episcopal work. According to La Grande Encyclopédie, he held the see between 551 and 573, following Gratus of Oloron, at a time when the Catholic Church in southern France was facing great persecution from the Visigothic kings. Our sources show no cult of him; the archive record nevertheless calls him venerated in the West.
