Valerio of Bierzo
Valerio of Bierzo (or Valerius of Bierzo; c. 630–c. 695〔Liz Herbert McAvoy, (2010), ''Anchoritic Traditions of Medieval Europe'', page 93. Boydell & Brewer 〕) was an ascetic hermit and monk from the Bierzo region of Visigothic Spain. A number of his writings still survive, including three short autobiographical works in which he complains about his many sufferings.
==Life==
Valerio was a member of the Visigothic aristocracy.〔Anastasia Serghidou, (2007), ''Fear of slaves, fear of enslavement in the ancient Mediterranean'', page 301. Presses Univ. Franche-Comté〕 In his writings Valerio describes how, after an eventful youth, he retired from the world seeking a more spiritual life.〔 During one period he was a monk at the Monastery of Compludo,〔 but this he abandoned in favour of a "desert hermitage" outside the city of Astorga, Spain.〔Maribel Dietz, (2005), ''Wandering monks, virgins, and pilgrims: ascetic travel in the Mediterranean'', pages 183-4, Penn State Press〕 After falling out with a local priest, some well-wishers built a church for him on an estate called Ebronanto where he lived as a hermit in a cell by the altar, receiving food and other supplies from the family owning the estate.〔Roger Collins, (2004), ''Visigothic Spain, 409-711'', page 201-2. Wiley-Blackwell〕 However, the head of this estate, a man called Ricimer, pulled the church down and built a new one, apparently with the intent of employing Valerio as a priest.〔 But Valerio saw this as an attack by the devil, intent on destroying his reclusive life, and he was only spared when the church fell down and killed Ricimer.〔 Later in life he was joined in another hermitage by his nephew and a servant, and the three men built a small church on the hillside next to their cells.〔
Valerio was connected in some way with the Abbey of San Pedro de Montes; he wrote for the monks there, and later writers mistakenly assumed that he had been abbot.〔"Valerio of Bierzo" entry in ''New Catholic Encyclopedia'', (2003)〕
An inscription, extant in the church of San Pedro, calls him "sanctus" (saint), which at that time was simply a title of honor.〔
