Life
Gérétran of Bayeux (in Latin Geretrandus) was bishop of Bayeux and is counted a saint of the undivided Church, but his life is very little known because of the unsettled times in which he lived. The English source places him in the 5th century and says that, during the Viking invasions, he moved the relics of Saint Exuperius to a safer place, where they remain to this day. The two datings do not agree: the Viking invasions belong to the 9th and 10th centuries, so his period is uncertain. We have no day of commemoration.
