Amand de Bordeaux was a 5th-century archbishop who led the diocese of Bordeaux during two separate periods. Born around 400, he was raised in a Christian environment and later ordained as a priest by Bishop Delphinus. His life and leadership are documented through the surviving correspondence of Paulinus of Nola, with whom he maintained a significant relationship. After serving as bishop starting around 404, he briefly stepped down due to declining health, only to resume his position following the death of his successor, Severinus.
