	THE LIFE OF ST SAMSON
		When St Samson saw it (the image), selecting two only of the brothers to be with him, he hastened quickly towards them, their chief, Guedianus, standing at their head, and gently admonished them that they ought not to, forsake the one God who created all things and worship an idol.
		Then St Samson, not with a ready will but for convention’s sake, consented to partake of food with them; but the wicked queen, at the devil’s bidding, caused them to mix poison in the glass for him and ordered it to be carried by her servant to St Samson as he sat near, the king.
		St Samson, however, as if in a very friendly manner, said, ‘It is not meet that a man should drink this cup.’ And when he had made the accustomed sign on the wounded man’s hand he was made whole in the presence of them all.

	Saints of July 28
		The existing vita of Saint Samson may be the earliest biography of a British Celtic saint, but scholarly opinion is divided on whether it was written in the 7th century (within 50 years of his death) or the 9th.
		On a second visit to Paris he was granted lands in the region of Rennes and was also given jurisdiction over the Channel Islands-- and indeed it was from the Isle of Guernsey, where one town bears his name, that he and Judwal embarked on their campaign to depose the usurper Conomor.
		Recent research seems to demonstrate that Samson was the leading churchman of the colonists from Britain who founded Brittany, and a primary figure in the history of the evangelization of Cornwall and the Channel Islands.

	The Heroic Age: Kentigern and Gonothingernus
		From the evidence of his name, Gonothigernus was ethnically British or Irish, and it is tantalising to note at the Council of Paris (556x573) the presence of Samson peccator episcopus who is almost certainly St Samson of Dol in Brittany.
		Samson's seventh-century Life (Taylor 1925) relates his diplomatic mission to the Franks, to "king Hiltbert" (presumably Childebert, king of Paris, is intended): was it perhaps Samson who gave Gonothigernus/Kentigern the idea of a mission to north Britain?
		After Samson's death, relations between the Franks and Bretons, which seem to have been reasonably good in the first half of the century, worsened considerably in the final quarter.
