did y'all know there's a St. Severus?
no, it's true. his feast day is october 15. he was an anti-pelagian missionary in england in the fifth century, and one of his closest associates was St. Lupus of Troyes.
lupus (whose feast day, in the interest of completeness, is july 29) is said to have persuaded attila the hun to spare troyes in the invasion of gaul. later, when attila was defeated at chalons, lupus was driven out of troyes on the charge of helping attila escape. he was permitted to return to troyes only after living as a hermit for two years.
honest, i don't make this stuff up.
