From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other people named Eucherius, see Eucherius.
Saint Eucherius (Orléans, 687?–20 February 743), son of Savaric, bishop of Auxerre, was a bishop of Orléans who opposed Charles Martel when the latter confiscated church property to fund his war efforts against the Moorish invasions from Al-Andalus. When Charles returned from his victory in Tours, he stopped in Orléans and exiled Eucherius to Cologne.
