Jean l'Agneau was a 7th-century bishop who served as the 25th leader of Tongres. Originally a farmer born to a wealthy landowner in Tihange, his reputation for piety led to his selection as bishop. While historical accounts vary regarding the exact year of his appointment, he held the position for approximately six years. He died in Maastricht after a relatively brief tenure, having previously established a chapel in Huy.
