Fulcran
Saint Fulcran (died 13 February 1006) was a French saint. He was bishop of Lodève. Fulcran came of a distinguished family, consecrated himself at an early age to the service of the Church, became a priest, and from his youth led a pure and holy life. When in 949 Theoderich, Bishop of Lodève, died, Fulcran, notwithstanding his unwillingness, was chosen as his successor. The poor and the sick were the objects of his special care; for their support he founded hospitals and endowed others already existing.
