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).
