Felix of Nîmes

Saint Felix of Nîmes is honored as a 4th-century bishop and martyr from Nîmes, France.

Jules Igolin writes that Nîmes became the site of a bishopric by the fourth century and that its first bishop was Saint Felix of Nîmes (St Félix), who was martyred around 407AD.

Other writers also affirm that a certain St. Felix was Bishop of Nîmes and martyred by the Vandals about 407, but Louis Duchesne questions this.

[2] Felix is said to have been succeeded by Sedatus who had served under him.

[3] The first bishop whose date is positively known is Sedatus, was present at the Council of Agde in 506.
