**Badigysel** (French: Baudegisile) was a [bishop](/source/Bishop) of the [diocese of Le Mans](/source/Diocese_of_Le_Mans) in the 6th century. He served as bishop from 581 to 586, when he died.

## Wife and daughter

[Gregory of Tours](/source/Gregory_of_Tours) recorded that bishop Badigysel had a wife and daughter who survived him following his death. He recounted that Chuppa, a former constable of the late king [Chilperic I](/source/Chilperic_I), attempted to force the daughter to become his bride. Magnatrude, the mother, gathered together a group of armed men and successfully fought off Chuppa.[1]

Magnatrude also got into a dispute with [Bertechramnus](/source/Bertechramnus) the succeeding bishop of Le Mans about property following her husband's death. Magnatrude succeeded in getting an estate given to her from the bishopric's lands. [2]
