"At Constantinople, St. Ignatius, bishop, who, for having reproved the emperor Bardas for putting away his wife, was subjected by him to many insults and driven into banishment. Being restored to his See by the Roman Pontiff Nicholas, he finally rested in peace."[9]
"IN the territory of Ossuma, in Spain, near Cadiz, the holy martyrs Servandus and Germanus, in the persecution of Diocletian, under the lieutenant Viator. After being subjected to scourging, imprisonment in a foul dungeon, want of food and drink, and the fatigue of a very long journey, which they had to perform loaded with fetters, they at length reached the term of their martyrdom by having their heads stricken off. Germanus was buried at Merida, and Servandus at Seville."[9]
"At Bordeaux, St. Severin, bishop of Cologne and confessor."[9]
He left Wales and went to Cornwall. He is recalled by several church dedications, for instance St Clear near Liskeard.
The statesman and philosopher Anicius Manlius Torquatus Severinus Boethius was the author of De Consolatione Philosophiae. About the year 534 he fell into disfavour with the barbarian king and was martyred at Pavia in Italy. His relics are enshrined at the Cathedral of Pavia.
Pope Gregory I had suggested the name of Ioannes, Archdeacon of Catania, after he rejected the first candidate in February 595. In October 595 Bishop Ioannes was granted the pallium.[14][15]
He devoted himself to the care of prisoners, particularly those condemned to death, and he also preached actively against paganism.
"BENEDICT, father of S. Romanus, was of noble Frank family, related to Clovis. He was converted and baptized by S. Remigius, probably at the same time as his royal master and kinsman. The wife of Benedict was Felicitas, and Romanus was their only son. He was born about A.D. 561, and as soon as he had attained a suitable age was summoned by Clothair II to his court, and there he made acquaintance with those earnest-souled, devout men, S. Ouen and S. Eligius. On the death of S. Hildulf, about A.D. 631, he was appointed to fill his place as Bishop of Rouen. His relics were burnt by the Calvinists in 1562. Till the French Revolution the Chapter of Rouen had a right, called the Privilege de S. Romain, or Privilege de la Fierté, to obtain the release of a captive from chains and death, who should bear the shrine of the saint."[16]
"In Poitou, St. Benedict, confessor."[9]
During the persecutions of the era he fled to Gaul and built a hermitage near Poitiers, later transformed into an abbey.[17]

A princess married to the Duke of Aquitaine in France. As a widow she devoted herself to the care of the poor and suffering. Her shrine is in Amay in Belgium.
"In Picardy, St. Domitius, priest."[9]
"There are three saints of this name:
- Elfleda of Whitby, Feb. 8;
- Elfleda the daughter of Edward the Elder, Oct 29; and
- Elfleda the Widow, of Glastonbury, given by Alford in his Index of English Saints on April 13, but in the "British Martyrology" on April 14; but the Auctuarium of the Martyrology of Usuardus, belonging formerly to the Church of Winchester, inserts:
"S. Elfleda, Queen," on Oct. 23.
Authorities:—The Lives of S. Dunstan, both that which is anonymous and that by Osbern."[19]
Daughter of Earl Ethelwold, founder of Romsey in England, she became a nun there and eventually abbess after St Merewenna.
"ST. ELFLEDA was the daughter of the Earl Ethelwold, who founded the Abbey of Rumsey in the reign of Edward the Elder. The King interested himself in the pious undertaking, and induced St. Merwenna to charge herself with the government of the house and the formation of a community of holy women. Elfleda became one of her first disciples, and so greatly profited by the training of her holy mistress, that she was considered worthy to be chosen Abbess in due time, and acquired the reputation of eminent sanctity. She was buried in the Abbey Church, near her beloved mistress."[20]
