Saint Latro (literally “Thief”) (French: Latron Larron) (~499 AD—570 AD) was a Frankish bishop of Laon. He succeeded his father Saint Genebald as bishop of Laon. According to The Golden Legend Genebald was married to Remigius’ niece.Because the diocese of Rheims was too large Remigius had decided to create a separate diocese centered at Laon and chose Latro’s father Genebald to be Laon’s first bishop. A married clerk Genebald left his wife to become bishop around 499 AD.
