Saint Albinus of Angers ((フランス語:Saint-Aubin)) (c. 470 – March 1, 550) was a French abbot and bishop. Born to a noble Gallo-Roman family at Vannes, Brittany, St. Albinus was a monk and from 504 C.E. Abbot of Tintillac (which no longer stands; its location has not been satisfactorily identified). His reputation spread during the twenty-five years in which he served as abbot. In 529, St. Albinus was elected, against his wishes, Bishop of Angers.〔 *()〕 ==Episcopate== He campaigned against incestuous weddings, such as those that occurred between members of the nobility.〔 *()〕 He participated in the Third Council of Orléans (538) after King Childebert granted permission for this council to take place.〔 Albinus sought advice from St. Caesarius of Arles after seeing laxity in other bishops. Tradition states that he helped all in distress, using diocesan funds to free hostages from pirates. Another tradition states that he clashed with King Childebert, who had imprisoned a woman called Etherie, from Douille near Angers. Unable to secure her release Albinus visited her in prison, and the soldier who tried to resist him fell dead at his feet. This so impressed the king that he allowed St. Albinus to bail her out.〔 *("A Life of St. Aubin and His Times" by Rosemary Hampton )〕 Another legend relates that St. Albinus once prayed far into the night for some men imprisoned in the Tower of Angers. Suddenly a great stone collapsed from the wall, allowing their escape.〔 *(Venantius Fortunatus "The Life of St. Aubin" )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albinus of Angers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
