Florentius of Orange was a 6th-century bishop who led the diocese of Orange in France. During his tenure, which spanned approximately 517 to 524, the city was seized by the Ostrogoths. This conflict resulted in his deportation alongside the local population to Fiorenzuola d'Arda, located near Piacenza. He eventually regained his freedom through the mediation of Caesarius of Arles, who petitioned King Theodoric the Great on his behalf. He is recognized as a saint within the Roman Catholic Church.
