Saint Hospitius (in French Saint Hospice and anciently Saint Sospis) (died May 21 581) was a French recluse who according to tradition had been a monk in his native Egypt towards the beginning of the 6th century. He immigrated to Gaul and retired to a dilapidated tower situated on the peninsula of Cap Ferrat a few miles east of Nice.The people of the environs frequently consulted him; he forewarned them on one occasion about the year 575 of an impending incursion of the Lombards.
