Folcwin

Saint Folcwin (Latin: Folquinus, Folcwinus, Folcvinus;[1][2] Old Dutch: *Folkwin; French : Folquin, date of birth unknown, died 855 AD in Esquelbecq) was a Frankish abbot, cleric and Bishop of Thérouanne (appointed 816). He was a contemporary of Notker of Liege.[3]

He is venerated in the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church on 14 December.

The first part of the Latin cartulary of St Bertin's is credited to St Folquin.[4] A review of his life was written during the next century by his grand nephew Folcuin, abbot of Lobbes, on request of Walter, abbot of Saint-Bertin.
