Life

Felix of Nîmes is honoured as a bishop and martyr of the fourth century at Nîmes in France, with his feast on 27 July. The see of Nîmes existed as early as 396. Some writers regard him as the first bishop of the city and say he was killed by the Vandals around 407, but Louis Duchesne doubts it. He is said to have been succeeded by Sedatus; the first bishop with a sure date is Sedatus, present at the Council of Agde in 506.
