Volusian (French: Volusien) (Latin: Volusianus) was the seventh Bishop of Tours, from 491 to 498. He is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church.
Biography
Volusian came from a rich and pious senatorial family, and was a close relative of his predecessor Perpetuus, as well as of Ruricius of Limoges. He was deprived of his see by the Visigoths, exiled to Toulouse, and perhaps martyred.[1]
His feast day is January 18. He is the patron saint of Foix.
