St. Arwald and St. Arwald, Martyrs
-------------------------------------------------------------
Died 686. These martyrs are called by the name of their father, a
prince of the Isle of Wight, whose proper names were lost. They were
put to death by soldiers of King Ceadwalla (f.d. April 20), then a
pagan, on the day after their baptism (Benedictines).


St. Rufus (Rufin) of Glendalough, Hermit
-------------------------------------------------------------
Date unknown (c. 202?). Saint Rufus was a hermit at Glendalough, where
he was buried. Some writers call him a bishop (Benedictines,
Husenbeth).
