  • Saint Germerius (French: Saint Germier) (ca. 480- ca. 560 AD) was bishop of Toulouse from 510 to 560 AD. There is some question as to whether he actually existed. He is the patron saint of the abbey of Lézat. He was a native of Angoulême, or possibly of Jerusalem. After coming to Gaul from Jerusalem, he was ordained a deacon. He then received an instruction from an angel , telling him to go to Paris where he would be made a bishop at the age of thirty. He did so, and was made the bishop of Toulouse there. According to one version of his story, on his way to Toulouse, he was summoned by the king Clovis I to the royal palace. There, Germerius gave the Eucharist to the king and his sons and heard their confessions. Later, Clovis asked for the bishop's prayers and offered in exchange whatever Germerius asked. Germerius told him that he wanted an estate in the Toulouse area, exactly, as much area as the shadow of his cloak could cover in Ducorum. Clovis agreed to give Germerius an area of six miles around Ducorum, and issued a written charter of liberty to substantiate as much. Clovis then requested the bishop to remain a further twenty days, and he agreed to do so. Upon his arrival in his new territory, Germerius founded two churches. One was dedicated to Saint Martin and the other to Saint Saturninus. The former has subsequently been identified as either the church of Saint-Martin in , a village roughly 4 kilometers southwest of Muret, or the church of Saint-Martin of Roziniac. Both of these churches fell under the possession of the monastic community Germerius founded. Germerius also established the monastery of Saint-Germier, which took possession of all these properties. Clovis is also reported to have given Germerius a number of other gifts, including vestments, the articles required for liturgical practices. This version of the story is explicitly included in the life of Germerius published by the abbey, as it makes it clear that the estates of the monastery were given to it by the king himself. He died at Ducorum. His feast day is May 16. (en)
  • Saint Germier est fêté le 16 mai (anniversaire de sa mort dont on ignore l'année). Il est contemporain du pape Jean III. Né à Angoulême, il fut nommé évêque de Toulouse (vers l'an 691). Saint Germier évangélisa toute la vallée de la Garonne. Il bâtit un monastère à Ox, hameau faisant partie de la commune de Muret. Il est aussi le fondateur de l'église Notre-Dame de la Dalbade. Il mena une vie austère, dans les jeûnes, les prières et les aumônes. Il fit plusieurs miracles en guérissant des malades et en faisant jaillir par son intercession une source d'eau vive, lieu de pèlerinage toujours fréquenté de nos jours à quelques kilomètres de Boulaur sur la route de Simorre. Saint Germier s'éteignit à Ox et fut enseveli dans l'église Saint-Jacques de Muret. (fr)
