Ansverus

Ansverus (also Ansuerus or Answer) was a Benedictine monk and abbot at Ratzeburg, born in 1038 at Schleswig (Haithabu) and killed on 15 July 1066 near Ratzeburg in northern Germany. He is honored as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church.

He died during an uprising of the Slavs against the introduction of Christianity, combined with the advance of the Saxons. His veneration extends above all to northern Germany, where he was patron of the duchy of Saxe-⁠Lauenburg. His day of remembrance is 15 July.

He is a saint of the West; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. He died in 1066, after the great separation of East and West of 1054, so he does not belong to the undivided Church.
