4 unusual facts about Saint Ermengol


Saint Ermengol

In 1017, he consecrated Borrell as bishop of Roda and received recognition by that bishop of his superiority in the local hierarchy.

He began his episcopate by reforming the cathedral canons, along the lines of the life of Saint Augustine of Hippo, and granting them land in Vallespir, Cerdanya, and Alt Urgell.

He was often at odds with the nobility of Urgell and he assisted in the construction of many public works.

Saint Ermengol (also Armengol or Armengod) or Hermengaudius (died 1035) was the bishop of Urgell from 1010.
