E02687Gregory of Tours, in his Glory of the Confessors (70), recounts a miracle of *Mitrias (saint of Aix-en-Provence, S01288): a villa of the church of Aix (southern Gaul) was seized by a magnate of the court of King Sigibert; Franco, bishop of Aix, appealed to the saint and stopped all veneration at his tomb until the villa was returned; the evil-doer was struck down with illness, eventually relented, and then expired.
