He carried out this pastoral ministry with great care, watching diligently over his people, and in particular the poorest and least educated.
Despite the fact that no synod had been assembled to hear him, no sentence of deposition issued out, nor had he been charged with any crime, King Theuderic III banished him to Saint Fursey’s monastery at Péronne, where Ultan, the abbot, received him with all respect.
[3] After the death of Ultan, Abbot Mauront was charged with the custody of the bishop, and took him first to the monastery of Hamaye; but soon after built a new abbey upon an estate of his own, at a place called Breüil near Merville.
[3] Some time before his death in 691, Theuderic came to regret his treatment of Aimé, and in satisfaction made several donations to the abbey of Breüil.
Around 700 Saint Bain translated the body of St. Amatus from Merville to the church which St. Maurout had built at Douay.
