Romaric was a Frankish nobleman and abbot who lived in Austrasia during the late 6th and mid-7th centuries. After serving as a Count Palatine under King Theodebert II, he faced a period of wandering following the death of his parents at the hands of Queen Brunhilda. Following the political shifts that allowed him to reclaim his lands, he underwent a religious conversion through the influence of Amatus of Grenoble. He eventually abandoned court life to pursue a monastic vocation, leading to the establishment of a significant religious community.
