Saint Aldric (born c. 800; died 7 January 856) was Bishop of Le Mans in the time of Louis the Pious. As a youth Aldric lived in the court of Charlemagne at Aix la Chapelle as well as in that of Charlemagne’s son and successor Louis. Aldric was highly esteemed by both monarchs but at the age of twenty-one he withdrew to Metz and became a priest. He was then recalled to the court by Louis who took him as the guide of his conscience.
