Gaspar Bruschius, Monasteriorum Germaniae praecipuorum ac maxime illustrium (Ingolstadt, 1551), fols. 119v-120r, provides a brief account of the Premonstratensian house outside Chur in Switzerland, describing it as having been originally the oratory of St Lucius, the first apostle of Rhaetia, and follows this with an `Idyllion Heroicum' (apparently by himself) in which he discusses, inter alia, the identity of the saint. Bruschius reports that some believe Lucius was of British origins, the son of a king and the brother of Emerita, but describes this as regarded as a fable by the learned (`fabula doctis'), and prefers the opinion - `sentencia sanior' - that he was a native of Cyrene, the son of the Simon who bore Christ's cross before the Crucifixion.
