Theodard of Maastricht was a 7th-century bishop who served the diocese in the Low Countries. Born in Aquitaine around 620, he was related to influential figures, including Robert II, the Lord Chancellor of France, and his successor, Lambert of Maastricht. While traveling toward his diocese to protest the looting committed by Frankish nobles, he was killed. Because of the circumstances surrounding his death, he is recognized as a martyr within the Christian tradition.
