Gaudentius of Ossero (Latin: Gaudentius Auxerensis; Italian: Gaudenzio di Ossero) was bishop of Ossero, on the island of Lussino (today Lošinj, Croatia) in the Istrian March from 1030 to 1042. June 1 is his Feast Day.
Life
A Vita was composed by an anonymous monk in the mid to late 11th century.
According to his Vita, Gaudentius was a native of Osor, where he later became bishop. Gaudentius was persecuted by other ecclesiastical leaders. Falsely accused, he travelled to Rome in 1032 to defend his name. His request to abdicate his see was declined, and he was sent back with letters of approbation.
