Gervais, Bishop (d. 1067)
Archbishop of Rheims. His death was said to have been revealed to a Norman knight, returning from a pilgrimage to Rome, by a hermit he met on the way. According to popular belief, the hermit told the knight that on the previous night he had been disturbed by a vision of demons making a great noise. He said the demons told him they had been carrying the body of Gervais from Rheims, but because of his good deeds in life the body had been taken from them. On his return to Rheims the knight learned that Gervais was dead, and that the time of his death corresponded exactly with the time of the hermit's vision.
