Budoc was a 6th-century monk and bishop who served as the Bishop of Dol. Born in Ireland, he is remembered as an abbot and a religious leader who eventually succeeded Samson of Dol. His life is associated with both the coasts of Brittany and Devon, where he is recognized as a saint. According to tradition, he was raised in an Irish monastery after his mother, Princess Azenor, was miraculously saved from the sea in a cask.
