alga,

The follow-up I promised:

Yep, Solange and Lybe are saints.  Solange (d. circa 880) was a poor
shepherdess of the neighborhood of Bourges who was murdered by the
local lord for resisting his attempts on her chastity.  Lybe (d. 303)
martyred at Palmyra in Syria (under Diocletian)--she was beheaded.
