Remigius, St

    0.03 sec.

Remigius, St (c. 438-533)

Christian apostle of the Franks. He converted Clovis I, King of the Franks, with the assistance of St Vedast and Clovis's wife St Clotilda. His feast day, formerly 1 October, has been dropped from the Roman calendar.

He was born in Cerny or Laon, the son of Aemilius, Count of Laon. He probably studied at Reims, where, on account of his learning and sanctity, he was elected archbishop in 459. He erected bishoprics at Tournai, Cambrai, Terouanne, Arras, and Laon.
