St Abran was a hermit from Ireland who shipped off to Brittany with his 5 brothers and 3 sisters, also hermits and remained hermits. They were given a hermitage on the Marne river and spread the word of Christianity...all 9 or them are saints.
They must have walked a long ways inland from Brittany as the Marne is way on the other side of Paris.
He died in the year 515. What must it have been like there in 515...a woodland paradise..
Not much going on in Europe but The Byzantine Empire was having all kinds of drama ...I guess around Turkey, in that area. I have to admit that I know nothing about the Byzantine Empire.
The Roman empire was winding down. The empire was being whittled down as they were losing colony after colony.
