Leudinus Bodo of Toul

Leudinus Bodo was bishop of Toul in the seventh century, successor of Eborinus (or Elbonirus), a Benedictine monk and, according to tradition, the founder of the monastery of Bodonis Monasterium. He is venerated as a saint in Lorraine, in the Western tradition, and commemorated on 11 September.

His name appears in the sources also in the forms Leudovinus, Leudvinus, Lendinus, Bodo or Bodon. He is said to have been born around 625 in Bassigny, to Gundoin and Saratrude, of the Etichonid family, a family of the Austrasian nobility (the Russian source calls it a noble family of Alsace). His sister was Saint Sadalberga, who founded the monastery at Laon.

Tradition holds him to be the founder of the monastery of Bodonis Monasterium, that is "the monastery of Bodo", later called Bon-⁠Moutier, in the present-⁠day Val-⁠et-⁠Châtillon in the Vosges. He also founded the abbey of Saint Peter at Étival (Stivagium), dated to 663, and the abbey of Othonville.

He departed to the Lord around 678, though our records also give the year 673.
