===Early Middle Ages=== [[File:Hl Victor von Solothurn.jpg|thumb|left|upright|St. Victor of Solothurn]] In the [[Early Middle Ages]] there were two settlement centres, a secular settlement in the former castrum and a religious settlement on the grounds of the late-Roman cemeteries outside the walls. Both the religious histories and archeological discoveries indicate that both areas remained inhabited continuously into the Early Middle Ages. The former chapel of St. Stephen inside the castrum was built on the foundation of an earlier, late-Roman building. A burial memorial in the cemetery of the nearby St. Peter's Chapel dates to around the collapse of the Roman Empire. By the middle of the 5th century, St. [[Eucherius of Lyon]] mentions the martyrdom of St. [[Ursus of Solothurn|Ursus]] and St. [[Victor of Solothurn|Victor]] and a cult of saints in Solothurn. About 500 AD, the [[Burgundians|Burgundian]] Princess Sedeleuba took the bones of St. Victor to [[Geneva]], while the bones of St. Ursus remained in Solothurn. The church dedicated to the veneration of Saint Ursus is first mentioned in 870.<ref name=HDS_Early_MA/>
