Desiderius of Vienne

Desiderius of Vienne (* in Autun; † around 606 in Saint -Didier- sur -Chalaronne, France) was Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Vienne and is a saint.

Desiderius came from a Christian family and was eager to advance their skills in grammar and religion. After he had rejected several offices bishop, he decided in the year 595 for the office of the Archbishop of Vienne. With Pope Gregory I, a lively correspondence took place. At the Council of Chalon -sur -Saône in 602 ( or possibly 603 ), he was, however, because of his penitential sermons, at the request of the Franks Queen Brunhilde, deposed and banished. Four years later he was made redundant from his exile and reinstated as archbishop. Because he continued to criticize the queen and her son, he was eventually captured and stoned to death.

His feast day is May 23
