He is said to have been the second prior of the Canon Regular community at Cassan Abbey.[2] He served as bishop from 1121 to November 5, 1123. He is a Catholic saint.[3]
Born in Puissalicon, Guiraud later became the focus of local legends.
One legend states that when he was being baptized, the baptismal water began to boil.[4] Legends also considered him to be of modest circumstances. However, several acts and charters have the signature "Guiraud of Puissalicon", indicating noble birth.[4] He was buried near Aphrodisius, the legendary first bishop of the city.
