Saint Eoaldus or Eoldus (Template:Lang-fr; died around 716) was archbishop of Vienne[1] in the 8th century,[2] and is considered a pre-congregational saint in the Catholic church.[3]
He was a relation of the Frankish royal family.[2] He was responsible for beginning the construction of a new cathedral in Vienne (replaced in the 11th century) and for its dedication to Saint Maurice and the Theban Legion.[4]
Eoaldus is mentioned in the will of the abbot Ephibius in 696 and in a confirmation of Childebert III in 697.[5]
His feast day is celebrated on 7 July.[3]
