(9th? or) 11th century. A Scottish or Irish bishop who went as a pilgrim to Rome and settled as a hermit at Salins in the diocese of Besancon, Burgundy, about 1029. He lived the rest of life in a mountain retreat overlooking a favourite stopover of Irish pilgrims near the oratory of Saint Symphorian. At a later date a church was built in his honour at Salins. His biographer said that it would be impossible to enumerate all the miracles he worked in his lifetime (Benedictines, D'Arcy, Kenney, O'Hanlon).
