St. Drogo is the patron saint of coffee (maybe?), hernias, and unattractive people. But why? Travel back to the 1100s and think about your ex while we tell you the tale about a man (not from Game of Thrones) who just wanted some gosh darn peace and quiet (and to kiss some babies).

St. Drogo, pray for us
