HE was succeeded by St. Turibius. His head is shown in the cathedral of
Mans, but the most of his relics in the neighboring Benedictin abbey of
nuns called St. Julian's du Pre, famous for miracles; though the
greatest part of these relics was burnt, or scattered in the wind by the
Huguenots, who plundered the shrine of St. Julian, in 1562. He was much
honored in France, and many churches built during the Norman succession
in England, especially about the reign of Henry II., who was baptized in
the church of St. Julian, at Mans, bear his name: one in particular at
Norwich, which the people by mistake imagine to have been dedicated
under the title of the venerable Juliana, a Benedictin nun at Norwich,
who died in the odor of sanctity, but never was publicly invoked as a
saint. St. Julian of Mans had an office in the Sarum breviary. See
