Life

Saint Laudomarus, also called Laumer or Lomer, founded the monastery of Corbion near Chartres in France and reposed in 593, at more than a hundred years of age.

He was first a shepherd boy in the region of Chartres, then a priest, and he withdrew as a hermit. Disciples came to him, and so he built the monastery of Corbion, of which he was abbot.

He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 19 January (new style).

Commemorated the same day January 19
