Life
Saint Waldalenus was the founder and abbot of the monastery of Bèze in Burgundy, France, in the seventh century, and the brother of Saint Adalsindis. He is commemorated on 15 May. A document of September 677 mentions him. He belonged to a noble family of Burgundy tied to the patrons of Saint Columban at Luxeuil. The sources give no further details of his life; he is not to be confused with the earlier duke Waldelenus, mayor of the palace of Austrasia.
