Maurilius of Angers

Saint Maurilius (French: Maurille) (c. 336 – 453), a priest originally from Milan, was the bishop of Angers between 423 and 453.

[2] A biography of him was written by Magnobodus[1] and, in 873, his body was transferred to the Cathedral of Angers, which had already been dedicated to St.

[2] Nevertheless, on 16 August 1239, the remains of St. Maurilius were placed in a new urn but they were scattered in 1791, when the Cathedral was vandalized during the French Revolution.

[3] In Vouziers, in the Ardennes region of France, the Église Saint-Maurille [Church of St. Maurilius] was dedicated to him in the twelfth century.

[3] In art, he is represented as a bishop with a fish holding a key or a garden spade.
