Leudinus

Who is Leudinus?

Leudinus Bodo was a seventh-century bishop of Toul, successor to Eborinus, or Elbonirus. He was a Benedictine. He occurs in hagiographies.

He is traditionally known as the founder of Bodonis Monasterium, later called Bon-Moutier. 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. He founded also the Abbey of Étival, dated to 663 and the Abbey of Othonville, and died around 678.
