Amandus of Ghisalba

Saint Amandus of Ghisalba, a martyr, was, according to tradition, count of Ghisalba, in the Bergamo region of Italy, and died a martyr. He is venerated in the Western Church and remembered on 6 April. Our sources are very few: one weak source gives his death as 6 April 515, but does not confirm the title of count or any details of the martyrdom, while our record places him in the 7th century. He should not be confused with Saint Amand of Maastricht, remembered on 6 February.
