ST. DROCTOVAEUS, ABBOT.

KING CHILDEBERT having built at Paris a famous abbey in honor of St.
Vincent; this saint, who was a native of the diocese of Autun, had been
educated under St. Germanus, abbot of St. Symphorian's at Autun, and was
a person eminent for his learning and extraordinary spirit of
mortification and prayer, was appointed the second, according to
Duplessis, according to others, the first abbot of this house, since
called St. Germain-des-Prez, in which he died about the year 580. His
body is kept in that abbey, and he is honored by the church on the 10th
of March. His original life being lost, Gislemar, a Benedictin monk of
this house, in the ninth age, collected from tradition and scattered
memoirs that which we have in Bollandus and more accurately in Mabillon.

ST. MACKESSOGE, OR KESSOGE, C.

BISHOP IN THE PROVINCES OF LEVIN AND BOIN, IN SCOTLAND.

BY his instructions and counsels the pious king Congal II. governed with
extraordinary prudence, zeal, and sanctity. This saint was illustrious
for miracles, and died in 560. A celebrated church in that country still
bears the title of St. Kessoge-Kirk. The Scots, for their cry in battle,
for some time used his name, but afterwards changed it for that of St.
Andrew. They sometimes painted St. Kessoge in a soldier's habit, holding
a bow bent with an arrow in it. See the Aberdeen Breviary, the chronicle
of Pasley, (a great monastery of regular canons in the shire of
Renfrew,) Florarium, and Buchanan, l. 5.
