St. Trudo
(TRON, TROND, TRUDON, TRUTJEN, TRUYEN).
Apostle of Hasbein in Brabant; d. 698 (693). Feast 23 November. He was the
son of Blessed Adela of the family of the dukes of Austrasia. Devoted from his
earliest youth to the service of God, Trudo came to St. Remaclus, Bishop of
Liège (Acta SS., I Sept., 678) and was sent by him to Chlordulph, Bishop of Metz.
Here he received his education at the Church of St. Stephen, to which he always
showed a strong affection and donated his later foundation. After his ordination
he returned to his native district, preached the Gospel, and built a church at
Sarchinium, on the River Cylindria. It was blessed about 656 by St. Theodard,
Bishop of Liège, in honour of Sts. Quintinus and Remigius. Disciples gathered
about him and in course of time the abbey arose. The convent for women,
established by him at Odeghem near Bruges, later also bore his name (Gallia
Christiana
, Paris, 1887, V, 281). After death he was buried in the church
erected by himself. A translation of his relics, together with those of St.
Eucherius, Bishop of Orleans, who had died there in exile in 743, was made in
880 by Bishop France of Liège. On account of the threatened inroads of the
Normans the relics were later hidden in a subterranean crypt. After the great
conflagration of 1085 they were lost, but again discovered in 1169, and on 11
Aug. of that year an official recognition and translation was made by Bishop
Rudolph III. On account of these translations the dates 5 and 12 Aug. and 1 and
2 Sept. are noted in the martyrologies. The Analecta Bollandiana
(V, 305) give
an old office of the saint in verse. The life was written by Donatus, a deacon
of Metz, at the order of his bishop, Angibram (769-91). It was rewritten by
Theodoric, Abbot of St-Trond (d. 1107).
