Helvidius

Helvidius was the legendary cousin of Ursula. Not much is known about him. It seems that his head was kept as a relic in a Dutch convent, probably an Augustinian house dedicated to Maria Magdalena.

Lessons for him are in NL-DHk 78 J 10, and a prayer is in NL-DHk 135 K 13. His name is spelled 'helyudius'.
