St. Leobinus
Bishop of Chartres, France. He was a hermit priest and abbot before his consecration. When raiders attacked his monastery near Lyons, Leobinus was tortured and left for dead. He is sometimes called Lubin.
Saint Leobinus (French: Lubin) (died 14 March 557)[1] was a hermit, abbot, and bishop. Born in a peasant family, he became a hermit and a monk of Micy Abbey before being ordained a priest. He was then elected abbot of Brou and in 544, became Bishop of Chartres, succeeding Etherius with the consent of king Childebert I.
