Audomarois
Administrative division of France / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Audomarois is an "administrative division" in the Pas-de-Calais department of France, once mainly used as a market garden. As its name suggests, it is centered around the town of Saint-Omer and the Marais Audomarois.
Etymologically, "Audomarois" also refers to the inhabitants of the town of Saint-Omer and those of the Marais Audomarois. In 638, King Dagobert decided to Christianize the north of his kingdom and entrusted this mission to 4 monks: Omer, Bertin, Momelin and Ebertram. Audomar (an early form of Omer) became Bishop of Thérouanne.
