After pursuing a legal career and being governor of a
province, he was consecrated bishop of Auxerre in Gaul. In 429 he was
selected as one of the leaders of a mission to Britain to combat the
growing heresy of Pelagianism. His mission was successful, and he also
led the native Britons to a victory against the invading pagan Picts and
Saxons. He visited Britain a second time in the 440s, to combat
Pelagianism once more, and he died at Ravenna in the late 440s, while on
a mission to the emperor to obtain pardon for the citizens of Armorica,
which had rebelled against the Roman government.
