Jean Le Vacher
From VincentWiki
Apostolic Vicar of Tunis, 1650 - 1683; from 1668 also Apostolic Vicar of Algiers.
"...when Jean le Vacher and Martin Husson, a lay lawyer, were leaving for Tunis and Vincent gave them some advice: They (sic) were to keep the rules of the Congregation, they were to try to practise the same virtues listed for those going to Algiers seven years earlier, namely zeal, humility, mortification and obedience; simplicity, which had not been in the previous list, is also added." (p. 459) [1]
Jean le Vacher was martyred in 1683 by being tied to the mouth of a cannon.
