George (bishop of Ostia and Amiens)

[2] He was apparently the owner of a now lost manuscript of the Greek Chronographia Scaligeriana, which he gave, loaned or sold to the abbey of Corbie around 780, where it was rather clumsily translated into Latin.

[7] In early 756, during the Lombard siege of Rome, Stephen sent George back to Pippin with letters requesting Frankish intervention.

[9] George's prolonged absences from Italy have been linked to the gradual abandonment of the Constantinian Basilica, the ancient cathedral of Ostia, which declined in the late 8th century only to be completed despoiled for the building projects of Pope Gregory IV (r. 827–842).

[10] In 767, the pope-elect Constantine II recalled George to Rome, probably to perform the bishop of Ostia's traditional role in the confirmation of a new pope.

[14] In the spring of 773, Charlemagne sent George, Abbot Wulfhard of Tours [fr] and a certain Alboin to Pope Hadrian I in Rome to ascertain the state of affairs in Italy.

Setting out from Italy, he was accompanied by Bishop Theophylact of Todi as co-legate and Abbot Wigbod of Trier as Charlemagne's representative.

[19] According to the Northern Annals, "George held primacy among" the legates "and they were honourably received by kings and bishops, and by princes and nobles of this country.

[21] According to their report, the legates landed in Kent and "rested" at Canterbury as guests of Archbishop Jænberht before travelling to the court of King Offa of Mercia.
