DESCRIPTION:According to unreliable sources\, he was a Frank courtier who 
 was converted by St. Remigius\, refused the offer of a See from his godfat
 her\, King Clovis I\, and became a monk at Micy. He lived as a hermit at L
 imoges and was rewarded by the king with all the land he could ride around
  on a donkey in a day for his prayers\, which were believed to have brough
 t the Queen through a difficult delivery safely. He founded Noblac monaste
 ry on the land so granted to him\, and it grew into the town of Saint-Leon
 ard. He remained there evangelising the surrounding area until his death. 
 He is invoked by women in labour and by prisoners of war because of the le
 gend that Clovis promised to release every captive Leonard visited. His fe
 ast day is November 6.
