Life
Saint Dulcidius (Dulcet) was Bishop of Agen, in France, in the fifth century, after Saint Phoebadius. He is a saint of the Catholic Church. He is commemorated on 16 October.
His name is also written Dulcet or Doucis. One source gives the year of his death as 415, another as 450.
Between 1121 and 1137 the monks of Uzerche built, in Corrèze, a church consecrated in his honour. In that church there is a stained-glass window with the saint's image and the shrine with his relics, made by the craftsmen of Limoges in the first quarter of the thirteenth century. Other details of his life are not known.
