Syagrius of Autun
Saint Syagrius (died 600 AD) was a bishop of Autun and previously count of Albi and judge in Marseille. His feast day is August 27 (September 2 in some martyrologies), brother of Didier Salvi, bishop of Vienne.
He was bishop of Autun from around 560 until his death and travelled to Nanterre with Guntram for the baptism of Chlothar II. He provided hospitality to Saint Augustine of Canterbury on the latter's way to England. Pope Gregory I granted Syagrius the pallium and decreed that the bishops of Autun have precedence in France after the archbishop of Lyon.
