Saint Augulus (or Augurius, Augustus, Aule, Ouil) was a 3rd or 4th century bishop and martyr in a town called Augusta in Britain, or perhaps in Normandy.
[2]The hagiographer Alban Butler (1710–1773) wrote in his Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, and Other Principal Saints under February 7, St Augulus, B. M. His name occurs with title of bishop in all the manuscript copies of the ancient Western Martyrology, which bears the name of St. Jerom.
[6] O'Hanlon continues, At an advanced age Augurius suffered martyrdom, not as said by some, A.D. 253, under the Emperor Decius, but, as Colgan thinks, after A.D. 300.
The English Martyrology and Cressy state, that his triumph took place on the 7th of February, about the year of Christ, 305, and a little while after the martyrdom of St. Alban or St. Albinus.
A Scottish writer, Hunibert, is cited by Dempster to prove, that the mission, preaching, labours and miracles of this holy martyr were confined to Scotia.
But Father Henschenius endeavours to show from authorities quoted, how untrue is the assertion of Dempster, in reference to British history at that period.
It does not seem desirable to enlarge further on the present holy man's Acts, since, in reality, no great amount of light can be reflected on them.
