Abbot and disciple of St. Germanus of Paris, also called Droctonius and Drotte. Born at Auxerre, France, he was a monk and then abbot of St. Symphian Abbey at Autun, France. When King Childebert I built a new abbey for Germanus, Droctoveus was called there to be the abbot. The monastery, once named St. Vincent and the Holy Cross, is now called Saint-Germain-des-Pres.
