Saint Corbinian (c. 670 – September 8 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 of the marriage of Duke Grimoald to his brother’s widow Biltrudis caused Corbinian to go into exile for a time. His feast day is September 8. The commemoration of the translation of his relics is November 20.
