Eutrope

Saint Eutrope of Orange is a 5th-century local saint and bishop of Orange. He is remembered in Orange, Vaucluse, France, with a feast day on 27 May.

Although he is the oldest known Bishop for the see of Orange this attestation in Gallia Christiana is considered spurious, because it originates of the works of a known forger of the 17th century, Polycarpe de la Rivière.[1]
