She was discovered by Romans, who tried to force her to marry a nobleman. When she refused, she was tortured and eventually beheaded. Her relics were later taken to the island of Belle-Ile-en-Mer, where they are still venerated today.

Another Saint Honorine is the fifth-century saint from Arles, who is the patron saint of disputes and trials. She was a young girl who was falsely accused of stealing a silver cup.
