Translated from the French by Len Mallalieu and Tony Bellows
St Marcouf (also known as Marculf) was an early missionary saint of
Normany. The accounts of his life are merged with that of St. Helier,
and this article, while focusing primarily on St Marcouf, also has a
number of interesting points to make about the historicity of the
legends about St Helier.
