(A.D. 608.)
[Named in the English Martyrologies. Authority for his life, Bede.
Hist. Eccl., i. 33.]
Bede says of this Saint, that he was a disciple of S. Gregory the Great,
and first abbot of the monastery of S. Peter, at Canterbury, which was
in later years called S. Augustine's monastery. Going to France in 608,
he was drowned near the harbour of Ambleteuse, near Boulogne. The
peasants of the place buried the body without much regard, not knowing
at first whose it was, but by night a light appeared above it; and,
perceiving that the drowned man was a Saint, his body was exhumed, and
conveyed to Boulogne.
