He was born into nobility, raised in royal courts, and destined for worldly power. But Leodegar of Autun chose another path — one of radical faith, reform, and fearless truth-telling. In a world ruled by ruthless kings and power-hungry warlords, this bishop dared to confront corruption head-on… and paid the ultimate price.
In this episode, journey deep into the turbulent Merovingian age where betrayal, political intrigue, and bloodshed were part of daily life. Discover how Saint Leodegar:
• Transformed a corrupt monastery into a beacon of holiness 🌿
• Faced down the most feared man in Francia — the brutal Ebroin ⚔️
• Endured imprisonment, exile, mutilation, and blindness without losing faith 🙏
• Spoke truth to power even as death drew near, becoming a Christ-like martyr whose last words still echo today ✝️
This isn’t just history — it’s a gripping, cinematic story of faith, courage, and sacrifice that feels more like a medieval epic than a saint’s life. If you think you know what true courage looks like, wait until you hear the story of Saint Leodegar.
