VENERABLE EVRARDUS, ARCHBISHOP OF SENS
Venerable Evrardus, first abbot at the monastery of Saint Columba of Sens (Agedicum Senonum), then elevated to the archbishopric, was a wise, pious man who sadly ruled his church for only five years. When the Normans invaded in A.D. 888, devastated the towns, burned the churches and monasteries and also besieged Sens, the godly shepherd died. (Lech.)
