Biography of Foillanus, a saint from Irish origin (+c. 655 in Fosses, near Namur), was the brother of St Furseus and St Ultanus. Foillanus was appointed abbot of Cnobheresburg (Suffolk). After the destruction of the abbey in 651 by Penda, king of Mercia, he went to France with his books and relics, and he settled in Nivelles. With help of St Ida and St Gertrude he founded an abbey in Fosses-la-Ville (Fossa). Foillanus was murdered by brigands on a visitation journey in Fosses.
