Eucherius of Orléans was a 7th-century bishop who served the see of Orléans before living as a monk. Born in Orléans around 687, he initially sought a monastic existence at the Abbey of Jumièges after being inspired by the letters of Paul the Apostle. Following the death of his uncle, Suavaric, he was requested by a deputation to succeed him as bishop in 721. His tenure was marked by conflict with the Frankish ruler Charles Martel, leading to his eventual exile.
