Ursmar

About Ursmar

Ursmar (Ursmer) is associated with Lobbes in the early medieval Low Countries and is remembered as its bishop and abbot. The regional historical reference explains that the narrative tradition includes an early Vita, so later details about his work should be read as hagiography rather than contemporary documentation. The Catholic Church in Norway notes April 18 as his memorial date and also records April 19. Neither observance establishes the exact day of his death.
