Biography of St. Leonard:
It is said that Leonard was a Frank courtier who was converted by St. Remigius and became a monk at Micy. According to unreliable sources, he was given a piece of land by the king when he lived as a hermit at Limoges. There, he founded the Noblac monastery of which he became abbot and that slowly developed into the Saint-Leonard town. Leonard converted many pagans. A legend says that Clovis claimed to release every prisoner, who will be visited by Leonard. Thus, he is patron saint of prisoners.

Patronage of St. Leonard: He is patron saint of political prisoners, imprisoned people, prisoners of war and captives, women in labour and of horses

Statues and wooden sculptures representing St. Leonard - portrayal, imagery and emblem: St. Leonard is shown as an abbot with abbot's crosier, chains as a symbol of captivity and an ox.
