Mansuetus

Mansueto or Mansuetus is also the name of an early bishop of Milan and of an episcopus Brittanorum ("bishop of the Britons" [in Armorica] at the Council of Tours, 461

Saint Mansuetus (French: Mansuy) (died 375) was the first Bishop of Toul. He is thought to be of Irish or Scottish origin. After religious studies in Rome, he was sent by Pope Damasus I to evangelize Gaul, becoming the first bishop of Toul in 365.

Veneration

According to the Vita Sancti Gerardi, Bishop St. Gerard I of Toul (r. 963–994) had the relics of both Mansuetus and Aprus brought into Toul and placed in the church of St. John the Baptist while he was ill.^[1]

His feast day is celebrated on September 3.
