Saint Amator Template:Fr icon Amadour or Amatre was bishop of Auxerre from AD 388 until his death on May 1, 418. He is also confused with a hermit of legend whose feast day is August 20. A tradition in Autun also designates him as its first bishop, with an occupancy date of AD 250 that is intended to tie him to the seven bishops sent to evangelise Gaul in the time of Decius. Bishop Amator's feast day is celebrated on May 1.
