Celtic and Old English Saints 26 April =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= * St. Trudpert of Muenstethal =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
St. Trudpert (Trudbert) of Muenstethal, Abbot -------------------------------------------------------- Died c. 644. An Irish pilgrim who, upon his return from Rome, began a solitary life in Muenstethal. Here (or at Neumagen) some day-labourers, paid by the local lord to clear an impossible terrain to establish a foundation for Trudpert, became irritated with their hard work, and killed him. Trudpert, therefore, is venerated as a martyr (Benedictines, Encyclopaedia).
