Paul Aurelian (known in Breton as Paol Aorelian or Saint Pol de Léon and in Latin as Paulinus Aurelianus) was a 6th century Welshman who became first bishop of the See of Léon and one of the seven founder saints of Brittany. Paul Aurelian was held to have died in 575 at the age of 140 years, after having been assisted in his labours by three successive coadjutors, which suggests several Pauls have been mixed up. Gilbert Hunter Doble thought he might be the same man as Saint Paulinus of Wales.

Famous quotes containing the word paul:
“If men could menstruate ... clearly, menstruation would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event: Men would brag about how long and how much.... Sanitary supplies would be federally funded and free. Of course, some men would still pay for the prestige of such commercial brands as Paul Newman Tampons, Muhammed Ali’s Rope-a-Dope Pads, John Wayne Maxi Pads, and Joe Namath Jock Shields—”For Those Light Bachelor Days.””
