In 959 AD developed a severe disease causing pain and open sores while he was traveling in Italy.

The Basilica of Saint Martin in Liege, Belgium (Basilique Saint-Martin de Liège), was first built by the Bishop of Liège who was named Eracle (also Eraclius and Eraclus). In 959 AD developed a severe disease causing pain and open sores while he was traveling in Italy. The doctors told him that he had a disease called lupus because the sores looked like the bites of a wolf. His doctors prescribed 2 freshly killed young chickens to be placed on his flesh twice a day, but it did not work and he was dying from his lupus. So, he traveled to the Shrine of Saint Martin in Tours, France (Saint Martin was known for curing the sick) and the Bishop laid in front of Saint Martin's tomb, praying for 7 days and nights to be healed. The 7th night, Saint Martin and Saint Brice (buried close by) appeared to him in a dream and cured him of his lupus. Eracle returned to Liège and built the original church in 965 AD to thank the Saint for curing him of his lupus. The original church was burned down during the Mal Saint Martin (the nobility were burned up inside by the poor people of the city outside) in 1312. The present-day basilica started to be built in 1506. Inside the basilica, I show a reconstruction of the sarcophagus of the Bishop Eracle who was cured of lupus. We can also see a sword of the Swiss Guard (it is here because the church was elevated to basilica status by the Pope). This basilica is also where the Feast of Corpus Christi originated by Saint Juliana of Liege. We also see relics of Saint Agnes who was killed as an early teenager due to her refusing to get married, stating she was married to Jesus. She is the patron saint of girls, chastity, and of rape victims.

The original diocese was the church equivalent of the CivitasTungrorum, the capital of which was Tongeren, northwest of Liège, and its borders were probably approximately the same.
The bishopric of Tongeren originally formed part of the dioceses of Trier and Cologne. After the first half of the fourth century, the bishopric of Tongeren received autonomous organization. In late antiquity, the centre of administration and religion in the area moved first to Maastricht, and then to Liège.
The boundaries were formed, to the North, by the diocese of Utrecht; to the East, Cologne; to the South, the dioceses of Trier and Reims; to the West, that of Cambrai. Thus the diocese of Tongeren extended from France, in the neighbourhood of Chimay, to Stavelot, Aachen, Gladbach, and Venlo, and from the banks of the Semois as far as Ekeren, near Antwerp, to the middle of the Isle of Tholen and beyond Moerdijk, so that it included both Romance and Germanic populations. The boundaries remained virtually unchanged until 1559.
