User:Ian Spackman/Jucundus (Bishop of Aosta)

Saint Jucundus (French: Joconde; Italian: Giocondo) was a sixth-century bishop of Aosta, probably the successor to Ursus of Aosta who died c. 470 CE. However it is unknown how large a gap there was between Ursus’s death and Jucundus’ appointment, or whether there were intervening bishops. It is known that there was a bishop called Jucundus in 496, and it is believed that this is a reference to this bishop of Aosta.

He is known to have attended the councils in Rome held byPope Symmachus in 501, 502 and (perhaps: typo?) 504.

He has been venerated as a saint ab antico in the Diocese of Aosta on 30 December shich is believed to be the date of his death. The year is taken to be 502.
