nov.iso S. Maclovius. 339
He did not, however, remain long there, but went back to
Saintes, and settled at Archambray with some monks he had
brought with him from Brittany, and there he died. The
relics remained there till the 7th century, when the church
of Aleth, or S. Malo, recovered them in a not very creditable
manner.
A young man was obliged to fly from Brittany to escape
the daggers of his brothers, who sought his estate. He took
refuge at Archambray with the sacristan, who kindly received
and sheltered him. After some years the youth, thinking he
was safe, revisited Brittany, and on going to Aleth, told Bili,
the bishop, where he was lodged, how easily he could get
hold of the body of S. Malo, and carry it off. Bili urged
him to return to Archambray, dissemble his purpose, and
on the first opportunity make off with the relics. The young
man accordingly went back to his host the sacristan, saying
that his life was not yet in security from his brothers, and
the sacristan, as readily as before, offered him hospitality.
The youth waited till the sacristan was obliged to make a
journey, and had left him in charge of the keys, when he
packed up the body of the saint, and ran away with it to
Aleth, after having prepared himself for the theft by confession and communion. The relics were received with great
pomp by the bishop and clergy and people of Aleth, and
were divided. One portion was given to the monastery of
the isle of Aaron, the other was kept in the cathedral. In
975 they were taken to Paris. They were lost at the Revolution. The only relic that remains is a shoulder-bone a
S. Maclou-de-Moiselles, near Versailles.
