Bubulcus (bishop)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bubulcus, Boulcus or Bovicus of Vindonissa was a bishop. From 517 to 534 he was the first bishop of Vindonissa (Bishopric of Windisch-Konstanz). As such he took part in the Synod of Epao-Jenne in Burgundy in 517.[1]
According to an inscription discovered in Vindonissa, the seat of the bishopric was moved to Constance in 590.[2] Since there is no clear surviving literary source proving when the diocese of Windisch-Constance was founded, Maximus (or according to other sources Gaudentius) is considered to be the first bishop of Constance with the foundation of the diocese of Constance around 585-590 by the Alemannic dukes with the help of Pope Gregory I.[3]
