saint judoc , saint josse , saint jost or saint joyce -lrb- traditionally 600 -- 668 -rrb- was a seventh-century breton noble and catholic saint , who sought the protection of aymon , a predecessor of the counts of ponthieu , to live as a hermit and renounce the crown of brittany , in a place then called either `` sidraga '' or `` schaderias '' or `` runiacum '' , located in the coastal forest near the mouth of the river canche .
he travelled to rome along the via francigena , returning safely shortly before his death .
