Life
Saint Generosus was abbot of Saint-Jouin-de-Marnes in Poitou, France, and he reposed around the year 682.
He is commemorated on 16 July as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar. Our sources preserve no account of his life. The calendars also commemorate on 17 July another Generosus, venerated at Tivoli in Italy, where his relics are enshrined in the cathedral; he is not the same saint.
