St Gregory of Tours, tr. Dalton, 1927
Book 4, 37. Of the Holy Friard, the Recluse
At the same time as the holy Nicetius died the holy Friard, full of days, a man eminent in holiness, sublime in action, and noble in his life, some of whose miracles I have related in the book which I have written concerning his life.1 Bishop Felix coming to him at the hour of his passing, his whole cell was shaken; whence I nothing doubt that an angelic influence was present there, causing the place thus to quake as he passed away. The bishop washed his body, and wrapping it in worthy raiment, consigned it to the tomb.
