A legend of St. George, the origin of which, according to <a href="/wiki/Louis_Duchesne" title="Louis Duchesne">Louis Duchesne</a> is not earlier than the eleventh century, makes George one of the seventy-two disciples, and tells how he founded the Church of Civitas Vetula in the County of Le Velay, and how, at the request of <a href="/wiki/St._Martial" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Martial">St. Martial</a>, he caused an altar to the Blessed Virgin to be erected on Mont Anis (Mons Anicius). When and how George is supposed to have become a bishop is not recorded.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> After St. George, certain local traditions of very late origin point to Sts. Macarius, Marcellinus, Roricius, Eusebius, Paulianus, and Vosy (Evodius) as bishops of Le Puy. It must have been from St. Paulianus that the town of Ruessium, now <a href="/wiki/Saint-Paulien" title="Saint-Paulien">Saint-Paulien</a>, received its name; and it was probably St. Vosy who completed the church of Our Lady of Le Puy at Anicium and transferred the episcopal see from Ruessium to Anicium. St. Vosy was apprised in a vision that the angels themselves had dedicated the cathedral to the Blessed Virgin, whence the epithet Angelic given to the cathedral of Le Puy. A notation in the page of a Sacramentary, which may have come from some liturgical book from Le Puy, gives the names: Evodius, Aurelius, Suacrus, Scutarius, and Ermentarius.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> It is impossible to say whether this St. Evodius is the same who signed the decrees of the Council of Valence in 374. Neither can it be affirmed that St. Benignus, who in the seventh century founded a hospital at the gates of the basilica, and St. Agrevius, the seventh-century martyr from whom the town of Saint-Agrève Chiniacum took its name, were really bishops. Duchesne thinks that the chronology of these early bishops rests on very little evidence and that very ill-supported by documents; before the tenth century only six individuals appear of whom it can be said with certainty that they were bishops of Le Puy. An inscription places Scutarius, the legendary architect of the first cathedral, at the end of the fourth century. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Growth_in_importance">Growth in importance</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Le_Puy-en-Velay&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Growth in importance">edit</a>]</div> The Church of Le Puy received, on account of its dignity and fame, temporal and spiritual favours.

Stephanus was consecrated by two local bishops, contrary to the rule that the bishop-elect should be ordained by the pope.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> The clear implication is that the archbishop of Bourges had lost a privilege over the Church of Le Puy, the right to consecrate a new bishop, and possibly the right to approve or disapprove the bishop-elect.
