Autbodus was a 7th-century Irish missionary who traveled through regions that are now part of northern France and Belgium. Serving as a companion to Saint Ultan and Foillan, he spent much of his ministry preaching throughout the areas of Picardy, Artois, and Hainaut. After his period of active missionary work, he sought a more solitary life, eventually settling as a hermit in a location near Laon, where he is believed to have died around the year 690.
