What about Martin of Tours? Patron saint of France and soldiers. His father was a military tribune in the Roman army (Luke the Warrior). He's most famous for giving half of his cloak to a beggar. After he became a Christian he didn't want to fight anymore (Martin the Warrior as a Redwall Brother). And Martin of Tours founded the Abbey of Marmoutier in France (Martin the Warrior and Redwall Abbey)
