Some people can go through life without causing much of a ripple or even being noticed.
Others seem constantly to be immersed in problems or at the eye of the storm. St. Ptraetextatus definitely falls into the group that demands notice. Part of that, no doubt, came from circumstances beyond his control, but there also were elements of his character that demanded he speak out when he saw problems. St. Ptraetextatus, who is also known as Prix, was named in 549 as the bishop of Rouen, a city and port on the Seine River in northern France. Possibly even worse and more to be feared than either Chilperic or Sigebert was Fredegunde, the mistress and later wife of Chilperic.
