  Abbey of Luxeuil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Columbanus was exiled from Luxeuil by King Thierry of France and the dowager Queen Brunehaut, and was succeeded as abbot by St. Eustace, who was the head of the monastic school, which came to enjoy a high reputation, and trained the noble youth of Gaul to be bishops throughout Gaul and beyond.
Luxeuil sent out monks to found houses at Bobbio, between Milan and Genoa, where Columbanus himself became abbot, and monasteries at Saint-Valéry and Remiremont.
From the 15th century the institution of commendatory abbots encouraged the decline of discipline, the Emperor Charles V curtailed the power of Luxeuil's abbots, and there was a further reform in 1634.

It was founded c.590 by St. Columban on the site of the Roman town Luxovium, destroyed (451) by Attila, later established in Franche-ComtE and now in the Haute-SaOne dept. The ascetic rule of Columban was soon modified and replaced (8th cent.) by that of St. Benedict.
