Rouen duck Rouen duck The Rouen is a heavyweight breed of domesticated duck raised primarily for decoration, exhibition or as general purpose ducks, since they are not prolific egg layers. Rouen ducks are frequently used for meat. The breed originated in France sometime before the 19th century. The plumage coloring of both the Rouen drake and the Rouen duck are nearly identical to that of the Mallard drake and Mallard duck. The Mallard color pattern is referred to as gray. Males have green heads, white collars, black tail coverts and dark, ashy brown tail feathers, a gray body, and a deep claret
Flavius of Rouen Flavius of Rouen Saint Flavius of Rouen, also known as Saint Filleul or Saint Flieu, was a 6th-century bishop of Rouen, the 16th in the usual sequence. Flavius was either of Roman origin or of a Gallic family who had knowledge of Rome. He has sometimes been identified as governor of the palace of King Dagobert, but on chronological grounds this is clearly mistaken. He was more probably treasurer or superintendent of finances for either Childebert or Clotaire, the latter being the more likely. He became bishop of Rouen in 525, and attended the councils of Orleans of 533, 538
