Saint Martin of Tours (Latin: "Martinus"), (316/317 - November 11, 397 in Candes) was a bishop of Tours whose shrine became a famous stopping-point for pilgrims on the road to Santiago de Compostela. Around his name much legendary material accrued and he has become one of the most familiar and recognizable Roman Catholic saints. Some of the accounts of his travels may have been interpolated into his "vita" to give credence to early sites of his cult. Wikipedia
