Holy Martyrs
Salvius and Superius
A bishop and his disciple, slain at Valenciennes around 768.
Life
The Holy Martyrs Salvius and Superius suffered around 768 at Valenciennes. Salvius was a bishop near Angoulême in France who had been sent to Valenciennes to enlighten the Flemings. The greed of a noble led to his death, and he was hastily buried beneath a companion who had died a martyr. When the relics were discovered, his anonymous companion was found first and was called Superius.
They are commemorated on 26 June among the saints of the West before the Great Schism (saints of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
