Read Baring-Gould’s full account

Baring-Gould’s sources: The *’ Marty rologium parvum” commemorates these bishops as confessors; one of them was, however, a martyr — Lsetus, and is so noted by Ado, Usuardus, and the Roman Martyrology. Authority: — Victor of Utica, a confessor in the same persecution.] The story of these bishops has been given in the life of S. Eugenius (July 13), to which the reader is referred. One of these bishops, Laetus, whom the Arian king, Huneric, especially ha terf 4or his zeal and eloquence, he burnt alive, the rest,..c:r barbarous treatment, he banished to Corsica. Their names were Donatianus, Prsesidius, Mansuetus, Germanus, and Fusculus. They were all bishops of the province of Byzacene, in North Africa.
