Saint Pardulphus (Pardulf Pardoux) (657 – ca. 737) was a Frankish saint and Benedictine abbot. He is the author of the Vita Pardulfi which is notable for the insight it provides into life in Aquitaine at that time.He was born at Sardent from a family of peasants. His legend states that he was a shepherd who decided to live as a hermit after experiencing a terrible storm. The count of Lantaire had built a monastery at Guéret. Pardulphus joined this monastery later serving as its abbot.
