VALENTINE of TREVES, according to the Roman Martyrology St. Valentine was an early fourth century Bishop of Treves (present-day Trier in Germany’s Rhineland-Palatinate). His absence from lists of prelates of that See have led many contemporary scholars to hypothesise that he is likely to be have been the Valentine who was Bishop of Tongeren and Maastricht (south-west Netherlands). Both are said to have been martyred circa 305, during the Diocletianic Persecution.

With great reluctance, St. Lupus was consecrated seventh Bishop of Troyes (north-central France) circa 426. He is often said to have been the same Lupus who accompanied St. Germanus of Auxerre (31st July) to Britain to assist in the eradication of Pelagianism.

This was only partially successful, and pagans resisting this drove St. Olav from his kingdom. While fighting to recover his throne in 1030, St. Olav fell in battle at Stiklestad. Not long after St. Olav’s martyrdom, he was declared Rex Perpetuus Norvegiæ (Norway's Eternal King).
