This legend of a Bishop of Soissons coming to our island, may well have given rise to the tradition that Bishop Luidhard, who certainly was living in the time of Bandaridus, had been Bishop of Soissons. In any case, the incidental hint the story gives us of the skill of our neighbours on the continent in the cultivation of vegetables, even at that early time, makes the story worth reproduction.
This assignment of Luidhard to the bishopric of Soissons may perhaps be explained by an interesting story. The Bishop of Soissons, a full generation earlier than the time of which we are speaking, was Bandaridus.
