St. Wolfgang became a Benedictine at Einsiedeln and was ordained in 971 A.D. He was a missionary to the Magyars and was appointed bishop of Regensburg by Emperor Otto II. Though active in politics, he became a hermit for a time. He was however brought back to active life until his death near Linz, Austria (died ca. 994 A.D.).
St. Follian and his brothers built a monastery in England and worked as missionaries among the East Angles. When their monastery was destroyed by the Marcians, Foillan and his brother Ultan, went to Gaul and founded another monastery. St. Foillan had great success converting many. He was however killed by a band of outlaws in the forest after celebrating the Mass (died ca. 655 A.D.).
St. Quentin went to Gaul as a missionary and settled at Amiens in Picardy. Because of his success in preaching, he was imprisoned by the Prefect of his area. He was then tortured twice and beheaded in a place now called Saint-Quentin (died ca. 287 A.D.).
