St. Volusian

Today is the feast day of St. Volusian. What do we know about him? Apparently, not much. From the Catholic Online:

"Bishop of Tours, France. A senator at Tours, he was initially married, supposedly to a most unpleasant wife. Named bishop of the city in 488, he was forced to leave the see in 496 by the Arian Visigoths, and went to Spain. He died perhaps in Toulouse, or in Spain, possibly as a martyr."

Thanks for clearing that up.
