bishop of Troyes, hence surnamed Trecensis.
His praises are loudly proclaimed by Sidonius Apollinaris was born at Toul towards the close of the fourth century. By descent and marriage he was allied to the most distinguished ecclesiastics of the age and country to which he belonged, for his mother was sister of St. Germanus, bishop of Auxerre, his brother Vincentius is by many believed to be the celebrated Vincentius Lirinensis, and he wedded in A. D. 419 Pimeniola, sister of Hilarius, bishop of Arles. Being seized with the prevailing passion for a life of solitary contemplation, he quitted the world, and entered the monastery of Lerins, from whence he was summoned in 427, to preside over the see of Troyes. Two years afterwards he was thought worthy of being associated with his uncle in a mission to Britain, for the purpose of arresting the progress of the Arian heresy in that island. Lupus returned to his native country in 430, and died in 479, after having occupied the episcopal chair for a space of fifty-two years.
