Solemnis (French - Solène, Solen or Solenne;[1] died c. 533) was a Christian saint and bishop. He appears in the Acta Sanctorum (Volume VII, 57) for 25 September.[2]
He was made Bishop of Chartres in 483. He split off part of the bishopric of Chartres to create that of Châteaudun and made his brother Aventinus its first bishop.[3] Solène, Vedast (bishop of Arras) and Remigius (bishop of Reims) all contributed to Clovis I's conversion to Christianity.[4] Solène then assisted Remigius in Clovis's baptism in 499[5] and became the king's catechist. He died in Maillé (now known as Luynes, Indre-et-Loire département).
