Regnobert of Bayeux

Regnobert of Bayeux (died in 627[1] or towards 666), Regnobertus in Latin, also transcribed in Renobert, Rénobert, Rennobert or Raimbert, was the twelfth bishop of Bayeux[2][3] and a Saint of the Roman Catholic Church in the 7th century.

[4][5] Saint Regnobert was born in Noron-la-Poterie,[6] a village southwest of Bayeux, the former Gallo-Roman capital of Bajocasses (Augustodurum) and seat of a bishopric.

Completing the work begun by Saint Exupere of Bayeux, Saint Regnobert converted the Saxons in the 620s, which earned him the title of the second Apostle of Bessin.

Only Saint-Pierre and Saint-Jean seem to have really existed in the seventh century.

He is also credited with founding the chapel at the origin of the pilgrimage to the Délivrande[7][8] Ragnobertus as the bishop of Bayeux around 627 was present at the Council of Clichy in 627.
