Holy Martyrs
Eugene, Salutaris, Muritta and Companions
A group of martyrs remembered together in Western calendars, around 505; few details survive.
Life
Eugene, Salutaris, Muritta and Companions: Eugene became bishop of Carthage in North Africa in the year 481, but soon afterwards was expelled by the Arian Vandals, together with many of his flock, among them boys. They were exiled to the desert of Tripolitania, where they suffered greatly. In 488 they were allowed to return to Carthage, but Eugene was exiled again eight years later and fell asleep at Albi in Gaul (today in France; the source says Italy). All are considered martyrs because of their sufferings.
Eugene's death is placed in the year 505. They are remembered on 13 July in the Western calendar (new style). They are honoured as saints of the undivided Church, with no synodal canonization shown in the source.
