Audoin, Audoen or Ouen, and Dado to his contemporaries, (609 in Sancy close to Soissons - 686 in Clichy), was a Frankish bishop, courtier, chronicler, and Catholic saint.
Audoin lived at the court of Clotaire II and later at the court of Dagobert I, who made him his referendary. He was part of a group of young courtiers like Saint Wandrille and Saint Didier of Cahors and was a close friend of Saint Eligius, whose vita he wrote; Audoin was consecrated bishop of Rouen in 640. He founded Rebais Abbey, and sent missionaries to areas that were still pagan.
He became an advisor of Theuderic III and upheld the policy of Ebroin, the mayor of the palace, to such a degree that he was involved in the treatment of Saint Leger.
His father was Saint Authaire. Dado's brothers were Ado and Rado.
