Saint Fortunatus of Vienne was born once in the 100’s. He was a priest, and along with his two deacons, Saint Achilles sent by the bishop Ireneus of Lyon to mission in ​​Valence. After converting a large part of the pagan people through their preaching and miracles, Captain Cornelius arrested them.
