Amandus of Bordeaux
Amandus von Bordeaux , French Amand († around 432 in Bordeaux ) is a saint of the Catholic Church.
Around 403 Amandus succeeded Delphinus , through whom he was ordained a priest , as Bishop of Bordeaux . He appeared as an opponent of Priscillian and baptized Paulinus von Nola († 431), with whom he was friends and was in correspondence.
Around 410 Amandus placed the office of bishop in favor of St. Severinus down, but exercised it again after his death († around 420).
His feast day as a saint is June 18.
