Saint Aubert also known as Saint Autbert was bishop of Avranches in the 8th century and is credited with founding Mont Saint-Michel. He lived in France during the reign of Childebert III (695-711) and died in 720. According to legend in 708 he had a vision in which the Archangel Michael instructed him to build an oratory on the rocky tidal island at the mouth of the Couesnon.
