Apparently, no specific intercession can be attributed to Dennis of Paris.
Maybe the saints mentioned on this tomb in Kilconnell are here simply
because the person buried there or members of his family bore the very same
christian names, and they are invoked as patrons or protectors.
Wouldn't we ask the same question about Catherine of Alexandria ?
The only Louis related to Toulouse I know of is Louis II (b. Toulouse, 1347-
ŬAngers, 1417), king of Napoli, Sicily and Jerusalem, duke of Anjou, count
of Maine and Provence.
