Saint Bernulf
Saint Bernulf or San Bernulfo or St Bernulphe (9th century AD) was Bishop of Asti (now Italy). Traditionally, the Bishop was one of several (unnamed) martyrs put to death by Muslim raiders in the early 9th century. Their remains were later transferred the church at Mondovì, where Bernulf was venerated as patron saint of the town. That honor was later taken by the current patron saint, Ubald, Saint Ubaldo. His feast day is 24 March.

Medieval Italian Saints
In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or medieval period lasted approximately from the late 5th to the late 15th centuries, similar to the post-classical period of global history. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and transitioned into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: classical antiquity, the medieval period, and the modern period. The medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early, High, and Late Middle Ages. Population decline, counterurbanisation, the collapse of centralized authority, invasions, and mass migrations of tribes, which had begun in late antiquity, continued into the Early Middle Ages. The large-scale movements of the Migration Period, including various Germanic peoples, formed new kingdoms in what remained of the Western Roman Empire. In the 7th century, North Africa and the Middle East—most recently part of the Eastern R ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
