Virgilius of Arles was a 6th-century archbishop and monk who served as the leader of the church in Arles, Gaul. Born in Gascony, he held several important religious roles, including serving as the Abbot of Lérins and the Abbot of the Abbey of St. Symphorian in Autun. He is noted for his administrative influence, acting as a pontifical vicar who bridged the gap between the Gallic bishops and the Apostolic See. His leadership was marked by efforts to combat simony and support missionary work in England.
