Herman[a] (died 1078) was a medieval cleric who served as the Bishop of Ramsbury and of Sherborne before and after the Norman conquest of England.
He visited Rome in 1050, where he attended a papal council with his fellow English bishop Ealdred.
[4] He was named abbot of Malmesbury Abbey by King Edward in 1055[5] and planned to move his seat there as well,[6] apparently in the hope of increasing the income from his poor see.
[6] Herman then abandoned Ramsbury to the administration of Ealdred and traveled to the continent to become a monk at the abbey of St Bertin at Saint-Omer.
[5] He returned three years later when the bishopric of Sherborne fell vacant; he was elected, faced no opposition from Earl Harold,[5] and resumed administration of Ramsbury around 1058 or 1059.
