  WELCOME! SAINT GREGORY, BISHOP OF LANGRES  Langres Cathedral   Saint Gregory , Bishop of Langres, commemorated on January 4 and May 13, became immensely popular as a senator of Autun through his strict justice. His wife Armentaria bore him two sons,  Saint Tetricus , later also Bishop of Langres, and Gregory, the grandfather of  Saint Gregory of Tours .

If this were not the case, nothing is known about her except her name and the place of veneration.  She also features in the  Roman Martyrology *,  although Baronius *, in his " Notes ," does not contradict the view that she is the same person as Saint Odilia, but merely remarks that in this case, a transfer of her relics to Toledo would be assumed.
