Porcarius II, in French Porchaire II or Porcaire II (died c. 732), was a Benedictine abbot who governed the Abbey of Lérins at a time when the monastery included over 500 monks. According to tradition, around the year 732, Porcarius was warned by an angel in a vision that the abbey was about to be attacked by barbarians. Immediately, the abbot heeded the warning and sent off to safety by ship all the young students at the abbey and 36 of the younger monks. When the ship left fully loaded, he set about preparing the rest of the community for death and prayed with them for courage.
