(in Lat. Anilnus), ST., bishop of Orleans, demanded aid from Aetius against Attila, who was obliged to abandon the siege of the place. It is said that the governor was attacked with a serious malady, and, believing his recovery to be due to the prayers of the prelate, set the prisoners free.

The Huguenots in 1562 invaded the tomb of Agnan, and burned his remains. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, v.
