Salvius of Albi

Salvius, Salvi or Sauve (died 584) was a bishop of Albi in Francia between 574 and 584, later venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church.

[2] He came from a powerful family within the church, which contributed many bishops in the south of France through the end and fall of the Roman Empire.

Salvius was educated in law and humanities, before becoming a lawyer in Albi.

As bishop he intervened with the powerful Chilperic I and stayed in Albi to take care of his flock during a famine and a plague epidemic to which he succumbed in 584.

He was buried in his monastery but his remains were later moved to the church of Saint-Salvi in Albi.
