Perhaps he chose a good name for himself.

Quote:Additionally, Landolfus claims that Paul, the Bishop of Nola, was carried away by Gaiseric when they sacked the city. The other accounts I've found, in various "Lives of the Saints," say that Paul of Nola was carried off when Alaric sacked Nola during his invasion of Campania in AD 410.
Maybe the good bishop liked to be carried off by strong Germanic invaders. :whistle:
