Biography
He was born in the Ardennes, in France, to parents of Roman origin. Throughout the forty years of his episcopate in Cambrai, he was known for converting many pagans and for greatly improving the unfortunate fate of the slaves. On one occasion he rushed to Chelles, near Paris, in order to calm King Lothair, who was then preparing to punish his diocesans who were too slow to pay taxes.
