Who they were

Wulflaich was a Lombard Catholic deacon and holy man in 6th-century Francia. He is known only from the Ten Books of Histories of Gregory of Tours, who recounts how he chose to live as a stylite (that is, atop a pillar) in the diocese of Trier during the episcopate of Magneric (before 587) and the reign of King Childebert II (576–596).
