Belgii. v. p.253.] The town of Lens in Artois honours with special devotion S. Wulgan, said to have been an Irishman, who preached the Gospel in Belgic-Gaul. In Picardy a Wulgan is also honoured, and it is possible that there was but one Wulgan, the apostle of both Artois and Picardy; but there are no details which allow either of their identification or of their separation. Wulgan of Lens passed many years preaching to the Atrebati and Morini, and he seems to have been a regionary bishop, his orders having been given him in Ireland before he left the country on his apostolic mission. Later he received permission from the abbot of the monastery of S. Vedast at Arras to live in a little cell as a recluse. On his death he was buried at a place called the “ Terminus hominum bonorum f and which was probably the cemetery of the monastery. Afterwards the inhabitants of Lens asked for his body, over which miracles of healing had been wrought, and they buried it in their church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin. The date of this elevation and translation of the body of S. Wulgan to Lens is not known, but it took place certainly before 1050, as Balderic in his Chronicle speaks of it as having been made long before.
