Life

Saint Fidolus (Phal) was abbot at Isle-⁠Aumont near Troyes in France and reposed around 540. He is commemorated on 16 May.

He was the son of an official in Auvergne. He was taken prisoner and sold into slavery, but was ransomed by Aventinus, abbot of Aumont near Troyes. Later Fidolus himself became abbot there, and the monastery was called Saint-⁠Phal after him.
