Saint Martin of Tours, bishop. (†397) He was born in Hungary and left his military career to become a religious. From this period comes the famous episode in which he cut half of his cloak to cover a poor man dying of cold. He founded several monasteries, including Ligugé, one of the oldest in Europe.
