Who they were

Saint Walaric, Valery in modern French, was a Christian monk born in 565 (d. 619 AD) and founder of the monastery of Leuconay, known today as Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. He was a follower of Columbanus, who founded monastic communities throughout Merovingian Gaul and continental Europe during the seventh century.
