Magneric of Tier (also called Magnerich, or Magnericus) (born c. 522, died c. 596) was a Frankish bishop of Trier.
[5] He was a friend and admirer of Gregory of Tours, mentioned in his History of the Franks,[6] and ordained St Géry, one of his disciples, who became bishop of Cambrai-Arras on the ascent of King Childebert II.
Once installed as bishop, he continued the work begun by his predecessor of restoring the city of Trier and its environs.
Other churches Magneric dedicated to St Martin are in Yvois, Karden on the Moselle, and a second one in Trier.
The proximity to the Merovingian family and his influence on the fortunes of Austrasia and the Gallic Church helped him maintain urban and regional domination until his death.
