Died c. 1040. This trio of nephews of Saint Sigfrid of Wexlow, followed their uncle to the Swedish mission. The monks were martyred at Wexlow (Vaxjo) by beheading. Their bodies were buried deep in the forest but the heads, which had been thrown into the nearby lake, were recovered and enshrined in the church at Vaxjo until the impious Lutherans removed them. These three are venerated in Sweden (Benedictines, Husenbeth).
