Saint Germanus of Man (Manx: Carmane; c. 410 AD in Brittany – c. 474 in Normandy), also known as Saint Germanus of Peel, was the first Bishop of the Isle of Man.
Born in Brittany in the early fifth century, he travelled to Ireland to study with Saint Patrick,[1] who may have been his uncle.
Germanus later spent some time in St. Illtud's abbey in southern Wales before returning to Ireland to be ordained by Patrick, and sent to the Isle of Man as bishop.
In 2012 a bishop's seal was discovered buried in a field in the north of Man, bearing the inscription, "Let the prayers to God of Germanus and Patricius help us".
There is some historical confusion with Saint Germanus of Auxerre, feast 31 July.
