Life
Severus of Agde (in Catalan Sever d'Agde) was a monk of Agde, abbot of the monastery of Saint Andrew, who died around 500. Little is known about his life. He seems to have been a prince from Syria and to have arrived at Agde around 456. He led the monastery of Saint Andrew and died there towards the end of the 5th century. He had Maxentius of Agde as a disciple. He founded the church of Saint-Sever d'Agde. He is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church, as a saint of the undivided Church; the source gives no day of commemoration.
