April 26 – St. Trudpert of Münstethal

April 26, 2011 Leave a comment

St. Trudbert was a seventh century hermit at Münstethal. A local lord was so impressed by his devoutness, he dedicated a portion of his lands on which to build a monastery. Unfortunately, he was not that impressed and set aside the worst of the grounds he owned. He then commanded local serfs to clear the land. It was such miserable work, the workers decided it was easier to kill Trudpert then to finish the job.
