Gondelbert

Saint Gondelbert (also Gondelbertus, Gundebert, Gumbert, Gombert, or Gondeberg; Latin: Gumbertus, etc.)

[1] The life of Saint Gondelbert was written by one Richer, a monk of Senones, composed three later centuries.

Gondelbert arrived in the Rabodeau valley and named his monastery after the diocese of Sens (Senonis in Latin).

[3] In 661, Childeric II, king of Austrasia, donated the Val de Senones to "Gumbertus Episcopus".

It pleased him to thus oblige a man of God and to favor the extension of the Christian faith in this region.
