Barbolenus

Saint Barbolenus (also called Babolen, Babolenus or Babolin) was a monk at Luxeuil and afterwards the first abbot of the monastery of Saint Peter, later called Saint-⁠Maur-⁠des-⁠Fossés, in northern France near Paris. He reposed around 677, or in 671 according to some. He may have been of Scottish origin; according to an English martyrology he was a monk of unknown nationality, of the school of Saint Columbanus of Luxeuil and allied with Saint Fursey.

The monastery had been founded in 638 by Blidegisl, archdeacon of Paris, on a peninsula formed by the Marne, about two leagues from the city. There Barbolenus governed a large community, for the good of souls in the neighbourhood. He is commemorated on 26 June as a saint of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
