Quentin was also known as Quintinus. According to legend, he was a Roman, went to Gaul as a missionary with St. Lucian of Beauvais and settled at Amiens in Picardy.
He was so successful in preaching that he was imprisoned by prefect Rictiovarus, tortured and then on the way to trial he miraculously escaped and continued preaching. Finally he was recaptured, tortured and then beheaded
