Life

Saint Gondulphus of Metz was Bishop of Metz from his consecration, probably in December 816, until his repose. He succeeded Angilram, the bishop for whom Paul the Deacon wrote the history of the bishops of Metz. He shepherded the church for six years, eight months and seven days and reposed on 6 September 823. He was buried at the monastery of Gorze, where his relics are still honoured. No further details of his episcopate are known.

He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 6 September (new style, Western calendar).
