Louis Duchesne denies any value to the legend of two Saints Firmin, honoured on the first and twenty-fifth of September, as the first and third Bishops of Amiens.

[1] Regardless of whether a St. Firmin, native of Pampeluna, was martyred during the Diocletianic Persecution, it is certain that the first bishop known to history is St. Eulogius, who defended the divinity of Christ in the councils held during the middle of the 4th century.

The Cathedral of Notre Dame d'Amiens was served by a Chapter composed of eight dignities and forty-six Canons.

[2] The city of Amiens also had a Collegiate Church of Saint-Firmin, whose Chapter was composed of a Dean and six prebendaries.

[3] The beautiful churches of St. Ricquier[4] and Corbie[5] perpetuate the memory of the great Benedictine abbeys and homes of learning founded in these places in 570 and 662.
