Beornrad (archbishop of Sens)

Beornrad (also spelled Beornred; died 797) was Archbishop of Sens from 785/6 until his death.

[1][2][3] Beornrad had moved from Northumbria to the European mainland at an unknown date, and was appointed as the third abbot of Echternach in 775, succeeding Albert to the post.

[1] According to a letter-poem written by Alcuin, Beornrad had become part of the court of Charlemagne by the 770s.

[1] Though Beornrad was later appointed Archbishop of Sens, he retained the abbacy of Echternach until his death.

[1] Beornrad was buried in the Abbey of Saint-Pierre-le-Vif in Sens.
