Frodulphe of Saintonge

Frodulphe of Saintonge (Frodulf) is a holy monastic, venerated by the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, from south-⁠western France. He is commemorated on 5 August. The sources seem to point to the same saint as Saint Frodulf of Barjon (Frou), the disciple of Mederic.

He is still venerated today in Saintonge; many marvelous legends and miracles obtained through his intercession are told of him, and a place, Saint-⁠Froult, has put itself under his patronage. In the 8th century, according to the source, he worked in Paris with Saint Merry (Mederic) until the latter's death, then withdrew to Grancey in Champagne to live in solitude. His name occurs in the forms Frou, Froult, Fredulf, Frion, Friou and Frodulph.
