Read Baring-Gould’s full account

Baring-Gould’s sources: Roman Martyrology. Ado, Wandelbert, Hrabanus, and Notker, additions to Usuardus, Belgian, Gallican, and Benedictine Martyrologies. Authority: — A Life by a monk of Stavelot, later as appears from the passage, “Quod ad nostrum usque tempus inconvulsum durare videtur.'' If the writer wrote also the first book of miracles of S. Remade, as is probable, he lived in the 9th cent. He wrote from tradition handed on in the monastery. This, “Libellum de vita Remacli," was afterwards enlarged by Notker of The father of Remade was Albutius, a man ol noble birth. The child was given to S. Eligius to be educated by him, and when he reached a suitable age was consecrated regionary bishop; and afterwards, in 650, on the death of S. Amandus, Bishop of Maestricht.
