Yes, OK - that's Usuard in his own time, as we understand him now, and
presumably - if I have this right - as he was "rediscovered" (so to speak)
in the sixteenth century. I think I was querying the extent to which he was
actually followed during the middle ages.

Yes, sorry, that's my fault, as it probably isn't relevant - I was just
illustrating that Fleury didn't seem to be following Usuard in respect of
Lazarus.
Anyway, I have now checked the Sarum (Syon) Martyrology - this has Martha on
29th July, and Martha (translation?) and Lazarus on 17th December.
