St.
Bregwin
(Died AD 764)
Archbishop of Canterbury
Died: 24th August AD 764
(Died AD 764)
Archbishop of Canterbury
Died: 24th August AD 764
Bregwin was a Continental Saxon by birth. The fame of the schools
with which the labours of Theodore and Hadrian had enriched England drew
Bregwin from his native land. In England, his learning and holiness won for him
high esteem and, in AD 759, he was called to occupy the chair of Augustine. He
received the pallium from Pope Paul I, two years later.
Bregwin was a correspondent of St. Lull, Archbishop of Mainz, with
whom he became friends while on a visit to Rome. He apparently held a church
synod during his archiepiscopate, but little else is known of him. He died in
AD 764.
