Ferréol of Uzès was a 6th-century bishop born in Narbonne, who likely served as the leader of the see in Uzès and potentially Nîmes. A member of the Merovingian royal house, he was the grandson of Cloderic of the Ripuarian Franks. During his tenure, he established a Benedictine abbey and authored a rule for its monks, emphasizing the importance of transcription. His religious career was marked by efforts to convert the Jewish population in his diocese, which led to a temporary period of exile.
