Theorodus of Marseille was a 6th-century bishop who led the diocese of Marseille from at least 566 until his death around 591. During a period of political instability in Merovingian Francia, he became deeply involved in power struggles between King Guntram and King Childebert II. Despite facing multiple arrests and accusations of treason or political conspiracy, he remained a prominent religious figure in the important Mediterranean port city.
