Blessed Milo was a disciple of Saint Norbert and friend of Saint Bernard, and bishop of Therouanne (Terouanne). He is said to have held the episcopal office for 27 years. A model of humility, he died in A.D. 1158 with the reputation of a saint. He is listed as "blessed" by Saussayus* and Migne*.

Blessed Milo is also commemorated on July 15.
