Who they were

The miracles
There was never a formal cause: he has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 8 November as a bishop of Amiens who suffered much making peace in his city and reforming clergy and people.
