Baldric or Balderic was the forty-second bishop of Tournai and Noyon (1099–1112). He was born in Artois and was a canon and cantor in the dioceses of Cambrai and Thérouanne prior to becoming bishop.

The Deeds of the Bishops of Cambrai has mistakenly been attributed to him. His surviving acta include the charter of 1105 by which he awarded the right of presentment for Tielt to the chapter of St Salvator in Harelbeke.

Notes

  1. His name in French may be spelled Baldéric, Baudri or Baudry. In Latin it is Baldericus.
