Avitianus

He was the third bishop of Rouen in Normandy, however his two predecessors are accepted as legendary.

[1] He is the first historically attested bishop by his presence, with Materne II, Bishop of Cologne, at the first Council of Gaul in Arles in 314.

[2][3] He succeeds Mellonius and settles in Rouen from 314.

[4] The Acta archiepiscoporum Rotomagensium tell us that "This blessed pontiff was an honest spirit, impeccable in his manners, and attentive to the salvation of souls under his charge".

[5] He is buried in the crypt of the Church of Saint-Gervais in Rouen, and his feast day is celebrated on 2 December.
