Germanus may have made a second visit to Britain in the mid 430s or mid 440s, though this is contested by some scholarsAnthony A. Barrett, "Saint Germanus and the British Missions", Britannia 40 (2009), 197–217 who suggest it may be a 'doublet' or variant version of the visit that has been mistaken as describing a different visit and erroneously included as such by Constantius, according to whom Germanus was joined by Severus, Bishop of Trier and met Elafius, "one of the leading men of the country". Germanus is said to have cured Elafius' enfeebled son by a miracle that served to persuade the population that Gaulish Catholicism rather than Pelagianism was the true faith.
