Who they were
In the territory of Châlons in Neustria, also in France, Saint Lupentius, abbot of the basilica of Saint-Privat-de-Javols, who, after unjustly suffering much harassment from Innocent, count of the city, died beheaded.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: he has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
