Calais (Calevisus) was a French hermit and founder of the monastery of Aniole. The town of Saint-Calais takes its name from him. According to the Vita Carileffi, Childebert I granted him lands, after an encounter in a forest where the king was hunting.[1]
Laumer was his successor and Siviard, another successor, wrote the life of St. Calais.
