Emebert was an early Bishop of Cambrai, in northern France; he is often identified with Bishop Ablebert of Cambrai (early 8th century).
According to the unreliable Vita S. Amalbergae viduae, Emebert was the son of Duke Witger of Lotharingia.
[1] His siblings include four other saints, Gudula, the martyred Reineldis,[1] Pharaildis[2] and Ermelindis.
[3][4] Emebert was possibly a missionary bishop who evangelized Brabant, his native country.
He is probably identical with Bishop Hildebert of Cambrai-Arras, who died around 700 and is buried at Maubeuge.
