SAINT MEINGOLD OF HUY


St. Meingold of Huy

Also known as Meingaud, Mengold
 Died :892.
Feast day: February 8

He was a holy man, who was venerated in Belgium after his death in the 10th century. Long afterwards he seems to have been confused with a certain Count Meingaud of Huy, who was assassinated the same year. The most credible of the many legends attached to the name is that the belligerent count experienced a conversion, repented, but was killed soon afterwards by his former enemies
