Quodvultdeus was a fifth-century bishop of Carthage and a notable Church Father. Born in Carthage around 400, he served as a deacon before ascending to the episcopacy. He maintained a close relationship with Augustine of Hippo, who acted as his spiritual mentor and dedicated several writings to him. Following the Vandal conquest of North Africa, he was forced into exile in Naples, where he lived until his death around 454. During his time in Italy, he worked to convert many Arian Goths to the Catholic faith.
