[1] The Gallia Christiana mentions Eladius as first Bishop of Nevers, who was restored to health by St. Severinus, Abbot of St. Maurice, in the reign of King Clovis I (481-509).

The place of Euladius in the episcopal lists is, as Louis Duchesne indicated, uncertain; the first attested bishop is Tauricianus, who present at the Council of Epaone in September 517.

It is possible that in the 7th century three other saints occupied the See of Nevers: St. Diè (Deodatus), the same perhaps who died a hermit in the Vosges.

[citation needed] The Benedictine Abbey of Corbigny, founded under Charlemagne, was occupied by the Huguenots in 1563, as a basis of operations.

Among the saints of this diocese are: Bernadette Soubirous, the visionary of Lourdes, died in the Convent of the Sisters of Charity and Christian Instruction in Nevers, 16 April 1879.
