Leudinus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leudinus Bodo[1] was a seventh century bishop of Toul, successor to Eborinus, or Elbonirus[2]. He was a Benedictine[3]. He occurs in hagiographies.
He is traditionally known as the founder of Bodonis Monasterium (the monastery of Bodo), later called Bon-Moutier (Bonmoutier, Bon Moustiers)[4]. Bonmoutier is in the modern Val-et-Châtillon, Vosges.
He is said to have been born around 625, in Bassigny, to Gundoin and Saratrude of the Etichonids, a family of the Austrasian nobility. His sister was Saint Salaberge, who founded the monastery at Laon[5]. He founded also the Abbey of Étival (Stivagium, Abbaye Saint-Pierre d'Étival[6])[7], dated to 663[8] and the Abbey of Othonville, and died around 678.[9].
