Later, in the eleventh century, the Byzantine emperor gave them to the French Count Jocelin.

Jocelin had them transferred to La-Motte-Saint-Didier, which was then renamed Saint-Antoine-en-Dauphiné.

There, Anthony is credited with assisting in a number of miraculous healings, primarily from ergotism, which became known as " St. Anthony's Fire ".

He was credited by two local noblemen of assisting them in recovery from the disease.

They then founded the Hospital Brothers of St. Anthony in honour of him, who specialized in nursing the victims of skin diseases.
