[78] That Claudius I. did persecute the Church appears from
Acts xviii. 2. Why Alban Butler should give S. Prisca the date 275,
after the death of the second Claudius, when all notices of her are

conjecture.
[79] Lure is in the diocese of Besançon, among the Vosges
mountains, between Vesoul and Belfort.
[80] A similar story is told of S. Goar (July 6th), S. Florence
(Nov. 7th), S. Amabilis (Oct. 19th), S. Cuthman (Feb. 8th), S. David,
abbot in Sweden (July 15th), S. Hildevert, B. of Meaux (May 27th), S.
Robert of Chaise-Dieu, S. Cunegunda, S. Odo of Urgel, S. Leonore, S.
Lucarus of Brixen, S. Bridget, B. Utho of Metten, and the Blessed Alruna
of Altaich. I give it for what it is worth. The story is traditional,
not having been consigned to writing for a hundred years after the death
of S. Deicolus.
