Life
Saint Florentius of Peterborough, a martyr, was a saint and martyr of the 7th century. He was a Roman and is known to history mainly through the hagiography of the Secgan manuscript. He is remembered on 27 September.
According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (manuscript E), his relics were bought from Bonneval Abbey and moved to Peterborough in 1013 or 1016 by Abbot Ælfsi. He was venerated at Peterborough together with Cyneswith and Cyniburg. His feast day, 27 September, might suggest that he was in reality Florentinus of Sedun, martyred in the Vandal persecution; so his historical identity is uncertain.
