EUCHERIUS OF ORLéANS


Saint 'Eucherius' (Orléans, 687?–20 February 743), son of Savaric, bishop of Auxerre, was bishop of Orléans.
He opposed Charles Martel when the latter confiscated church property to fund his war efforts against the Moorish invasions from Al-Andalus. When Charles returned from his victory in Tours, he stopped in Orléans and exiled Eucherius to Cologne.
