Can anyone clarify a point re R & D. Just where were their relics
transferred to in 1145?. According to wiki they went back to Nantes (where they
were martyred) having being sent to Orleans after the martyrdom of St Got(h)ard
in the 9th C to escape the Viking incursions. They are known as "Les Enfants
Nantaise". (The boys from Nantes.) and are commemorated in the present
Nantes Cathedral. However another on-line source says the relics were sent to
Ostia !! (OSTIA ??) And that the then Bishop of Ostia (Albert ?) was
involved. I do not recall having seen anything about a translation to Nantes in
1145 in any of the relevant histories I’ve been using (but you never know). Does
anyone have access to the Bollandists’ listings?
If the translation was back to Nantes in 1145 it will make me a nice little
footnote!

“Emperor Maximian ordered the prefect Rictius Varus to put them to death
for refusing to deny their faith. Varus imprisoned them, where they spent their
last night praying together. The next day, May 24, they were tortured on the
rack and decapitated.”
