Life

Aigulf of Bourges, also called Ayoul or Aieul, received an excellent education and chose to live as a hermit. Yet around the year 812 he was made, against his will, bishop of Bourges in France. He died around the year 835. He is remembered on 22 May in the Western calendar (new style).

No other details have been preserved. He is honoured as a saint of the undivided Church, with no synodal canonization shown in the source.
