Facts and Events
Saint Clodoald (; reconstructed Frankish: *Hlōdōwald; 522 – 560 AD), better known as Saint Cloud, was a Merovingian prince, grandson of Clovis I and son of Chlodomer, who preferred to renounce royalty and became a hermit and monk. Clodoald found a hill along the Seine, two leagues below Paris, in a place called Novigentum (the present commune of Saint-Cloud). Here among the fishermen and farmers, he led a life of solitude and prayer, and built a church, which he dedicated in honor of Martin of Tours. He is venerated as a saint in both the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
