Fulcran was a 10th-century French bishop and member of the Benedictine order. Born in Mérifons around 901, he dedicated himself to the Church early in life. Following the death of Bishop Theoderich in 949, Fulcran was appointed to succeed him, despite his initial reluctance. He served as the bishop of Lodève for over fifty years, focusing his leadership on maintaining moral standards among the clergy and supporting the vulnerable through the establishment of hospitals.
