Berthold of Parma

Berthold (died 1111) was a Benedictine lay brother (oblate).

[1] Berthold was born in Parma, Italy, to where his Anglo-saxon parents ultimately fled after the Norman conquest of England.

Berthold spent the majority of his life serving nuns in Parma, at the Benedictine Monastery of Sant'Alessandro.

[2] As a young man, he made various pilgrimages, including to Rome, and to the burial spot of Saint Anthony of Vienne in Isere.

While a number of miracles were attributed to prayers or encounters with Berthold, he was never canononized.
