O'Hanlon's notes
John O'Hanlon discusses Chuniald in his Lives of the Irish saints (1873). He notes that no special record exists of the acts of Saint Rupert's companions, Saints Chuniald and Gislar, if any such existed. Many writers refer to them as companions of Saint Rupert during his missionary career in Germany, so it may be assumed they were born in Ireland around the middle of the 7th century. However some, including the Hollandist Father Constantine Suyskens, thought that Rupert, Chuniald and Gisilar were natives of Gaul. Radler states that although the three were sent from eastern France to convert the Norici, they all were born in ancient Scotia or Hibernia. In 773 or 774 the relics of the saints were transferred to a church dedicated to Rupert in Salzburg. The relics were transferred again in 993 and 1315, but Chuniald is not mentioned in reports of the later transfers.
Saint Valentine was a 3rd-century Roman saint, commemorated in Western Christianity on February 14 and in Eastern Orthodoxy on July 6. From the High Middle Ages, his feast day has been associated with a tradition of courtly love. He is also a patron saint of Terni, epilepsy and beekeepers. Saint Valentine was a clergyman – either a priest or a bishop – in the Roman Empire who ministered to persecuted Christians. He was martyred and his body buried on the Via Flaminia on February 14, which has been observed as the Feast of Saint Valentine since at least the eighth century.
