Saint Amarant de Moissac

Amarandus of Moissac (Southern France?, mid-7th century – Albi, 722) was a Benedictine monk, abbot of Moissac, and bishop of Albi. He is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church. Amarandus was a Benedictine monk at Moissac (in present-day Tarn-et-Garonne), where he was elected abbot following Paternus, serving until 689–700, when he was appointed bishop of Albi. He occupied the see, succeeding Citruinus, before the Muslim invasion of the city and endured its siege. He was succeeded in 722 by Hugh I.
