St. Modoaldus

Feastday: May 12
Death: 640

Bishop of Trier and counselor of King Dagobert I of the Franks. Known also as Romoaldus, he was born in Aquitaine, France, to a noble family. Appointed bishop in 628, he attended the Council of Reims and was so vociferous in his complaints about the immorality then rampant in the royal court that he spurred Dagobert to a personal conversion.
