Solemnis (bishop)

Solemnis (French - Solène, Solen or Solenne;[1] died c. 533) was a Christian saint and bishop.

He appears in the Acta Sanctorum (Volume VII, 57) for 25 September.

He split off part of the bishopric of Chartres to create that of Châteaudun and made his brother Aventinus its first bishop.

[4] Solène then assisted Remigius in Clovis's baptism in 499[5] and became the king's catechist.

He died in Maillé (now known as Luynes, Indre-et-Loire département).
