Life

Saint Amantius of Noyon was bishop of the city of Noyon in France. The sources count him as one of four brothers, all priests, who suffered together: Amantius, Alexander and two others. He is said to have brought the place Cannes, near Carcassonne, to the faith, and to have received the crown of martyrdom there together with his three brothers.

No further details of them survive. They are commemorated on 6 June among the saints of the West before the Great Schism (saints of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
