Early life

The book says little or nothing about early life. This is how the account begins.

Thin entry · the 1897 book gives only 30 words. We have not filled the gap with invented detail.

Little or nothing is known of this Saint, but all Martyrologies place him in Britain, and at Augusta, which is probably London. It is questionable if he was a martyr.
