AIGNAN OF ORLÉANS, Saint. - Successor of St. Evurtius on the episcopal see of Orléans, known above all in the memory of Sidonius Apollinaris (Epist. VIII, 15) and Gregory of Tours (Hist. Francorum, II, 17) for having organized the defense of his city at the time of the invasions of Attila (451). The Hieronymian Martyrology commemorates him on November 17, the day of his deposition, and on June 14, on which his relics were translated, destroyed by the Huguenots in 1562.
