Catatan

Meaning "little monastery", it later gave its name to Montreuil-la-Cambe.
He should probably not be conflated with Chrodegang of Metz.
Opportuna's brother is identified with Saint Chrodegang of Metz by at least one source. However, Opportuna's story, which places him as Bishop of Séez and being murdered by a rival while on the road to Montreuil, is not mentioned in any resources relating to his life, which state instead that he died on 6 March 776 at Metz.
<li>Lacking opportunities for public careers, their lives offered few events. Three Merovingian hagiographies of female saints circulated widely: Geneviève of Paris (d. 502), Venantius Fortunatus' vita of Radegund (d. 587) and that of Gertrude of Nivelles. To these can be added the Hiberno-Latin vita of Brigid (Smith 1995:13).
Here, Adalhelm envisions her being summoned to Heaven by Cecilia and Lucy.
The Siege of Paris (885-886) took place during the reign of Charles the Fat, who may have been intended.
