Born: c.1000 in the diocese of Rheims, France

Died: 9 August 1067 of natural causes, legend says that when they were preparing to take the body to the local church for his funeral Mass, Maurilio suddenly sat up and described what he had seen in the afterlife including places near Jerusalem with crowds of saints, others with crowds of demons, and the damned suffering in Hell; he gave his clergy a warning to guard their souls, then laid down for the final time, buried in the Rouen cathedral, tomb destoyed by Huguenots in 1562.
