Individual Details
(Abt 990 - 17 Jun 1039)
He was the abbot of Saint-Evroul-sur-Ouche in Normandy, which he helped restore in 1050, and later Bishop of Troina and subsequently Archbishop of Messina in Italy. He became a monk at Saint-Evroul, and subsequently its abbot. After entering into a violent quarrel with William II of Normandy, he was forced to flee to Rome in January 1061 and then to the court of Robert Guiscard in Salerno, taking with him eleven of his monks, including his nephew Berengar. In his time, Saint-Evroul was famed for its musical programme and these eleven monks brought its musical traditions to the abbey of Sant'Eufemia in Calabria, a foundation of the Guiscard's, of which Robert became abbot.
