Vedast was a 6th-century Frankish bishop who served as an influential religious figure during the reign of King Clovis. Born in Villac, he was ordained a priest in Toul before becoming a guide for the Frankish king, helping him explore the Christian faith. While tradition identifies him as the bishop of both Arras and Cambrai, some historical perspectives suggest he may have functioned as an itinerant bishop without a fixed see. He died around 540 in Arras, where he is remembered as a holy leader and advisor.
