Maurus, Bishop Of Csanád
Maurus (; died after 1053) was a Hungarian Benedictine monk in the 11th century, who served as the second Bishop of Csanád from 1046 until at least 1053. Early life Segments of Maurus' life are preserved by the ''Long Life of Saint Gerard'', the hagiography of Saint Gerard Sagredo, the first bishop of Csanád and his predecessor. Maurus was a confidant of Gerard, who tasked with the conversion of the pagan inhabitants of his diocese after its establishment in 1030. Some historians – e.g. Samu Borovszky – argued that Maurus was of Venetian origin too, and accompanied Gerard from Venice to the Kingdom of Hungary around 1020. However, Gerard's legend says that while Stephen I of Hungary convinced the monk not to continue his pilgrimage to the Holy Land, he sent his traveling companions secretly on their way. Gerard's shorter legend states that Maurus was a Benedictine monk from the Bakonybél Abbey, where near Gerard lived as a hermit from around 1024. There, Maurus became a "fai ...

Career The origins and early ecclesiastical career of Briccius (also Bryccius or Brictius) are unknown.
