Saint Gimer de Carcassonne

Saint Guimerra (died 932) was Bishop of Carcassonne. According to a report by the Bollandists in the Acta Sanctorum, he was the first bishop of Carcassonne; another tradition, refuted by Louis Duchesne, dates his episcopate to the 6th century. He served as Bishop of Carcassonne during an uncertain period, dedicated his life to the apostolate, and was buried in the Basilica of Saint-Nazaire. In the Diocese of Carcassonne, his feast day was celebrated on May 15. His eulogy is found in the Roman Martyrology on February 13.
