proceeded to Pencair, a hill in Penibro parish, now commonly called St.
Banka. She afterwards built two churches, one at Trene, with the other
at Talmeneth, two mansion places in the parish of Pembro, as is related
in the life of St. Elwin. See Leland's Itinerary, published by Hearne,
p. 5.

his chair is shown in the churchyard, and his well a little without the
Churchyard. Leland, ib. p. 6.

SAINT ROGER, C.

A DISCIPLE Of St. Francis of Assisio, who received him into his Order in
1216, and sent him into Spain, though Wading calls him a layman. The
spirit of poverty which he professed, he inherited of his holy father in
the most perfect degree, and St. Francis commended his charity above all
his other disciples. The gifts of prophecy and miracles rendered him
illustrious both living and after his death, which happened in 1236. His
head is kept at Villa Franca, in the diocese of Asturia, and his body at
Todi in Italy, where he is honored with a particular office ratified by
Gregory IX. See Wading's Annals, published by Fonseca, at Rome, in 1732,
t. 2, pp. 413, 414, also Henschenius, p. 418. Pope Benedict XIV. granted
to the Franciscans for {his} festival the 5th of March.

the English translation of the above work, and thought worthy of being
incorporated in this edition of the "Lives of the Saints."

the kingdom of Naples, of respectable parents, Joseph Calosirto and
Laura Garguilo, and was upon the same day christened Charles Cajetan. He
early discovered the seeds of those virtues that in a special manner
enriched his sou
