Baring-Gould’s sources: Belgian and Gallican Martyrologfes.J This saint is believed to have been an Irishman who came over into the Low Countries, where he lived as a solitary, on roots and herbs, instructing the rude peasantry in the Word of God, afflicted with cramps and agues till he died. Little is known of him, and few traditions of any importance relate to him.
