Ursicinus of Cahors

Saint Ursicinus of Cahors was Bishop of Cahors in Gaul from about the 580s, and Saint Gregory of Tours often mentions him. He had been chancellor of Queen Ultragotha, wife of King Childebert I, and was chosen by Bishop Maurilio to succeed him. In 585 the synod of Mâcon sentenced him to three years of penance for having supported the pretender Gundovald. He reposed around 585 or 595, according to the sources.

He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 20 December (new style, Western calendar); some lists give 13 December. He is not to be confused with Saint Ursicinus of Saint-⁠Ursanne, remembered on the same day.
