  2. Genseric
    King of the Vandals.
  3. ^ "OFFA succeeded his father Sighere as King of the East Saxons in 704. He was a youth of most noble aspect, in the flower of his age, and most dearly beloved by his people, with the prospect of a long and happy reign. He had entered into an agreement with the family of King Penda to contract a marriage with Kyneswida, the daughter of that prince. But she had resolved to consecrate her virginity to a heavenly Spouse, and in her trouble, on hearing the designs of her kindred, had recourse to the intercession of the Queen of Virgins. Her prayer was heard, and not only was she able to maintain her purpose, but her persuasions so touched the heart of Offa, that he too chose the better part, and after a short reign of four years resigned his kingdom and went on a pilgrimage to Rome, in company with St. Egwin, Bishop of Worcester, and Kenred, King of Mercia, and nephew of the virgin Kyneswida, who had the same pious purpose as himself. In Rome, Offa took the monastic habit, and persevered in that state until called to the heavenly kingdom, on which his heart was set."[18]
  4. ^ By tradition he was born in Bordeaux and became a monk in France but became a prisoner of the Saracens and was taken to Spain. He managed to escape and settled as a hermit in the valley of Nocito in the Pyrenees near Huesca.

  6. ^ Saint Jonah of Pechenga and Kola was, as tradition tells us, a priest in the city of Kola. After the death of his daughter and wife he went off to the Pechenga-Trinity Monastery near Kola, and became a disciple of its founder, St. Tryphon. After the death of his teacher, he settled in 1583 at the site of what was to become his grave in the neighboring Dormition wilderness, where he was killed by the Swedes in the year 1590.
