"ST. FOILAN was a native of Ireland, and came with his brothers, St. Fursey and St. Ultan, into England, where they founded the religious house of Burghcastle, in Suffolk. When St. Fursey retired to the Continent, he left St. Foilan and others to govern in his stead. In the course of time he also left England, and established the Monastery of Fosse, on a site given to him by St. Gertrude of Nivielle. He was consecrated Bishop by Pope Martin I, with a commission to preach to the infidels. In the zealous exercise of this work he received the crown of martyrdom at their hands."[22]
"ST. BEGH, or BEE (in Latin BEGA), was of Irish parentage, and fled to England to escape a marriage which her parents had planned for her, having the holy purpose of consecrating her virginity to God. On her first landing, she is said to have found refuge on the promontory still known as St. Bee's Head, in Cumberland, where in after-years there was a cell of monks, depending on the Abbey of St. Mary's, in York. Bega received the religious habit from the Bishop St. Aidan, and is reported to have been the first so professed in Britain. The subsequent history of her life is unknown, unless she be the same with St. Hieu, or the Begu, mentioned by St. Bede, as some have supposed.[22]

This saint lived in the reign of Julian the Apostate (361), and was the son of a pagan priest. A certain pious Christian Deaconess brought him to the faith in Christ, who was a friend of his mother. He suffered severe tortures in the beginning, when his father learned of this. He miraculously survived however, and after Julian the Apostate died, he managed to bring his elderly father to the Christian faith and many other young pagans. He then lived a strict ascetical life and reposed in peace.
