Remacle
Remacle (600 - approx. 679) is a Saint catholic, and the first abbot of the Abbaye of Solignac and Stavelot - Malmedy.
It was sometimes supposed that it succeeded Amand as bishop of Tongres - Maastricht; it seems rather than the title of bishop carried by Remacle returns to that of abbot-bishop, relatively frequent at the time in this area. It would be originating in Aquitaine. He died in the abbey of Stavelot.
He is the patron saint of the town of Spa whose collegiate church bears the name after that of Notre-Dame.
It is celebrated on September 3rd.
