Licinius of Angers

Licinius of Angers (also known as Saint Lezin, or Lésin) (c.540–c.610) was a Frankish nobleman and bishop of Angers, celebrated as Catholic saint on 13 February.[1]

Lucinius was born about 540 and sent to the court of King Chlothar I when about 20. Chlothar's son King Chilperic I made him governor of Angers. Upon the death of Bishop Audouin in about 600, he was also made bishop of Angers by King Chlothar II.[2]

He founded a monastery and a Church both dedicated to St John the Baptist, and was buried there. His age at death was said to be 64 and the date 618 by one source,[2] but others state earlier.[1][3]

gollark: I see. I don't really agree with that view, since there actually is a decent amount of new non-computer tech, and you're also saying "excluding very fast growth in a highly impactful area, we haven't had progress".

gollark: If so, gotify.
