Gildard or Gildardus, or Gildaredus[2] also known as Godard or Godardus (c. 448 – c. 525), was the Bishop of Rouen from 488 to 525. He is venerated as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church, and the missal of the Sarum Rite refers to him as a confessor.[1] He is closely connected to Medard, who was traditionally considered to be his brother.
