Evermode O.Praem. (or Evermod) was one of the first Premonstratensian canons regular founded in 1120 by St. Norbert of Xanten in France and became his lifelong companion. He accompanied the founder to Antwerp and then in 1126 to the half-pagan town of Magdeburg where Norbert had been named as bishop. He attended to the bishop on his deathbed and ensured his burial in the church of the Norbertine Priory of Our Lady there which Norbert had formed from the members of the cathedral chapter.
