Romanus of Rouen was a 7th-century bishop, scribe, and clerical sage who served the see of Rouen. Born in Wy-dit-Joli-Village, he was educated at the royal court of Dagobert I, a common practice for young aristocrats of that era. Following his time at court, he was elected to the episcopal seat with royal consent. His life and legendary deeds are preserved in several hagiographies, including Latin verse and prose versions, and his memory is honored through various artistic depictions in Rouen.
