Saint
Gallicanus II
Bishop of Embrun
Bishop of Embrun in Gaul, reposed around 541.
Life
Saint Gallicanus II was bishop of Embrun in Gaul in the sixth century and reposed around 541 (the calendar calls him the fifth bishop of Embrun, while Wikipedia calls him the ninth). He took part in the fourth council of Orléans, in 541, and was represented by a certain Probus at the fifth. He is said to have consecrated a church dedicated to the Spanish martyrs Vincent, Orontius and Victor, built at Embrun by his predecessor Palladius.
It is possible, however, that Palladius never existed, being known only from hagiographical documents of little value, and that Gallicanus II is the same person as Gallicanus I, who would have governed the diocese from 518 until 549, perhaps as late as 554. He is commemorated on 25 June as a saint of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
