St. Quentin, Roman Catholic Missionary and Martyr. He went to Gaul as a missionary with St. Lucian of Beauvais, and settled at Amiens in Picardy. He was so successful in preaching that he was imprisoned by prefect Rictiovarus, tortured, and then brought to Augusta Veromanduorum, where he was again tortured and then was beheaded. Feastday Oct 31
