The holy foreskin has ended up in a few historical footnotes.
- Because of the relic's reputation as having the power to make sterile women fertile and ease childbirth, Henry V had the holy foreskin of Coulombs—a village near Chartres—transported to England in order to help his wife, Catherine of France, deliver the future Henry VI.
- St. Catherine of Siena, the self-proclaimed spiritual spouse of Jesus, was said to wear his foreskin around her finger.
- St. Bridget claimed to have received the relic from an angel and would place bits of it on her tongue, resulting in orgasmic-like sensations throughout her body.
