Felix Of Bilibio
Felix of Bilibio, known in Spanish as San Felices de Bilibio, was a 5th-century hermit and holy man in Roman Spain. Felix is mentioned in the ''Vita Aemiliani'', a biography of Saint Aemilianus written by Braulio of Zaragoza in 635–640. He was apparently born in the first half of the 5th century and met Aemilianus late in the same century. He lived at the ''castellum'' of Bilibio in what is today La Rioja. According to Braulio, Rumor had brought emilianusword that a certain hermit named Felix, a most holy man whom he might properly offer himself as a disciple, was then living in Castle Bilibium. He hastened thither and camet oh im and readily offered himself as a servant and was instructed by him how to guid his steps unfalteringly towards the kingdom above.

Roman Spain
Hispania was the Roman name for the Iberian Peninsula. Under the Roman Republic, Hispania was divided into two provinces: Hispania Citerior and Hispania Ulterior. During the Principate, Hispania Ulterior was divided into two new provinces, Baetica and Lusitania, while Hispania Citerior was renamed Hispania Tarraconensis. Subsequently, the western part of Tarraconensis was split off, initially as Hispania Nova, which was later renamed "Callaecia" (or Gallaecia, whence modern Galicia). From Diocletian's Tetrarchy (AD 293) onwards, the south of the remainder of Tarraconensis was again split off as Carthaginensis, and all of the mainland Hispanic provinces, along with the Balearic Islands and the North African province of Mauretania Tingitana, were later grouped into a civil diocese headed by a ''vicarius''. The name Hispania was also used in the period of Visigothic rule. The modern place names of Spain and Hispaniola are both derived from ''Hispania''. Etymology The origin o ...

Aemilian had a religious experience, perhaps around the age of twenty, which led him to decide to dedicate himself to God's service. He sought out an experienced hermit in Bilibio, Felix (more usually known by the Spanish form of his common name, ''San Felices''), where Aemilian lived for a number of years. After leaving his teacher, Aemilian lived as a hermit (perhaps even a gyrovagus) in the mountains or on the historic Roman road which became the Camino de Santiago.

Grimaldo was a monk of Santo Domingo de Silos and later San Millán de la Cogolla. Nothing is known of his life beyond what can be gleaned from his own works. He may have been one of the monks of San Millán who went into exile with Dominic of Silos around 1040 before the founding of San Domingo de Silos. Some historians have supposed that he was French. While at Silos, Grimaldo wrote a biography of Dominic of Silos in three books, the ''Vita sancti Dominici Exiliensis''. He wrote at the request of his abbot, Fortunio, Dominic's successor. It was originally composed in 1073–1076. It was revised between 1088 and the death of King Alfonso VI on 30 June 1109. Grimaldo was an eyewitness to much that he recounts. Sometime after 1095, Grimaldo retired from Silos to San Millán. In 1090, the relics of Saint Felix of Bilibio were moved from the castle ...
