Dentlin

Saint Dentelin (in some sources Dentlin or Denain) was a son of Saints Vincent Madelgarus and Waltrude, of Hainaut, in the seventh century. He died at only seven years of age, confessing the faith, and for this he is honoured as a confessor.

According to Belgian sources, the death of their son, around the year 656, led his parents to part by mutual consent: Waltrude withdrew to Mons, and Vincent entered the monastery of Hautmont. All four of their children, Dentelin among them, are counted among the saints. Dentelin is a saint of the undivided Church and is commemorated on 16 March (new style; 29 March in the old style).
