Erembert

Erembert is traditionally seen as the second bishop of the Diocese of Freising in Bavaria. Tradition used to consider him a half brother of the founder, Saint Corbinian (a Frank), though recent research argues he hailed from the Freising area.[1] He was appointed by Saint Boniface in 739, at the time of Boniface's reorganization of the Bavarian church.[2]
