Saint Didier also known as Desiderius (c. 580 – November 15 traditionally 655) was a Merovingian royal official of aristocratic Gallo-Roman extraction.He succeeded his own brother Saint Rusticus as bishop of Cahors and governed the diocese which flourished under his care from 630 to 655. Didier’s career like that of his brothers is exemplary of a church and a monastic system controlled by the ruling landholding class that was closely linked to the Merovingian monarchy.
