Saint Caesarius of Arles (468/470 – 27 August 542), sometimes called "of Chalon" (Cabillonensis or Cabellinensis) from his birthplace Chalon-sur-Saône but more usually known as Caesarius of Arles (Arelatensis) from the see that he occupied as bishop for forty years, is the foremost ecclesiastic of his generation in Gaul.
In all the Christian West, only Gregory the Great and Gregory of Tours overshadow him.
