Saint
Vedulphus of Cambrai
Bishop of Cambrai
Bishop of Cambrai, who reposed in the 6th century, venerated in the Western Church.
Life
Saint Vedulphus of Cambrai, hierarch (also Védulphe or Wedulphe), was a Frankish priest and bishop of Arras, then of Cambrai, and died in 580. He succeeded Bishop Dominic in 545. He decided to set up a new episcopal seat at Cambrai and obtained the transfer of the see of the diocese to that city at the council of Berny; according to some because of Cambrai's more central position, according to others because of the devastation Arras had suffered in the preceding decades.
The little that is known of him comes from the Gallia Christiana. He is venerated as a saint in the Western Church and traditionally remembered on 27 March; another source gives 6 February as his feast day.
