Veronus of Lembeek

According to tradition, Veronus chose to lived a humble life despite being a great-grandson of Charlemagne, and acquired a reputation for holiness before his death on 31 January 863.

[3] At age 16, however, he left the royal court to live a life of humble work, in imitation of Jesus.

He performed various miracles, including creating a wellspring by planting a stick in the ground,[4] and accurately predicting details of his burial to his sister, known as Saint Verona and revered in Leefdaal.

[6] One claim is that lambic originates from Lembeek and specifically from the miraculous wellspring created by Veronus.

[7] Veronus is reputed to be buried in the local church [nl] of Lembeek, which is named after him and was largely rebuilt in the late 19th century.
