Saint Corbinian (Latin: Corbinianus; French: Corbinien; German: Korbinian; c. 670 – 8 September c. 730) was a Frankish bishop. After living as a hermit near Chartres for fourteen years, he made a pilgrimage to Rome. Pope Gregory II sent him to Bavaria. His opposition to the marriage of Duke Grimoald of Bavaria to his brother's widow, Pilithrude, caused Corbinian to go into exile for a time. His feast day is 8 September. The commemoration of the translation of his relics is on 20 November.[1]
