saint romain or romanus of rouen -lrb- died c. 640 -rrb- was a bishop of rouen .
he would have lived under dagobert i -lrb- 629 -- 39 -rrb- , though his date of birth is unknown .
his life is known in legend and tradition and is shown in the stained glass windows -lrb- c. 1521 -rrb- and south gate of rouen cathedral and the stained glass windows of the église saint-godard -lrb- 1555 -rrb- .
the `` catholic encyclopedia '' claims that his legend has little historical value with little authentic information .
the city 's autumn `` foire saint-romain '' was set to his feast day on the `` 10th day of the kalends of november '' -lrb- i.e. 23 october -rrb- around 1090 , at the same date as his cult was spread to the whole diocese of rouen .
