Germanus of Winchester
Germanus (sometimes Germanus of Winchester, died circa 1013) was a medieval English abbot and Benedictine monk. He travelled to Rome in about 957 and became a monk at Fleury Abbey in France. Back in England by 964 he served as a monastic official before being named abbot of Winchcombe Abbey in about 970, a position he was removed from in 975. Germanus may have become abbot of Cholsey Abbey in 992.
==Early career==
Although Germanus's name is not Anglo-Saxon, Byrhtferth, a contemporary who wrote the ''Vita Oswaldi'', which contains much information on Germanus, states that he was a native of Winchester. Germanus accompanied Oscytel, the Archbishop of York, and Oswald of Worcester, on their trip to Rome in about 957,〔 purportedly to collect Oscytel's pallium, the symbol of an archbishop's authority. This journey, however, has been challenged by the historian Donald Bullough, who argues that no previous archbishops of York had collected their palliums in person. He also points out that this story is only related in the ''Chronicon Abbatiae Rameseiensis'', the chronicle of the abbey of Ramsey.〔Bullough "St Oswald" ''St Oswald of Worcester'' p. 8〕 According to the Ramsey story, Oscytel and Oswald returned to England, but Germanus remained on the continent and became a monk at Fleury Abbey in France.〔Lapidge "Germanus" ''Blackwell Encyclopaedia of Anglo-Saxon England'' pp. 202–203〕〔 Another story has Oswald journeying to Fleury on his own, with Germanus arriving at Fleury after Oswald had been resident at Fleury for a number of years prior to 958.〔Nightingale "Oswald, Fleury and continental reform" ''St Oswald of Worcester'' p. 24〕
