Eepre- sented with her teacher St. Hilary, who placed St. Florence (3) under her care. Despising earthly things, Triaise made a pilgrimage to the chief churches in Aquitaine and stopped at that of St. Stephen at Bode or Eouergue, where she led on angelic life with great devo- tion and asceticism.

St. Triduana, Oct. 8 (Kiduana, Tradlins, Tkallew, Tri-ddles, Tred- wall, Tridisane, Trodlheima, Troll- HABNA, Tbullbn), V. 4th, 6tb, or 8th century. One of three yirgins of Co- losse, who accompanied St. Hegulos when he brought the relics of St. Andrew to Scotland. She lived with her two com- panions, Potentia and Cimeria, at Bes- coby in Forfarshire, until a prince of the neighbourhood annoyed her by his admiration, when she fled to Dunfallandy in Athol. He sent her word that he was dying for her eyes, so she plucked them out and gave them to the mes- senger. She passed the rest of her life at Bestalrig in Lothian, where her worship was popular until the Beforma- tion. She was buried either there or in Caithness. By another account she was a virgin abbess who went with St. Boniface and St. Cresgsntia (5) to Scotland. In 1201 John, bishop of Caithness, was cruelly mutilated by Harold, earl of Caithness, on account of a supposed preference for Bonald, king of Man, a rival claimant of the earldom. During the tortures the bishop invoked St. Tro- dlheima, and at her tomb he eventually recovered his speech and sight. AA,S8, Adam King. Forbes. Keith, Scottish Bishops, E. W.
