Life
Bregwin of Canterbury was the twelfth archbishop of Canterbury and died in August 764. Little is known of his origins or his activity; the surviving records concern mostly disputes over land, and many records of his time have been lost. His letters to Saint Lull of Mainz survive. After his repose he was regarded as a saint, and a life of him was written in the twelfth century. He is a saint of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.
His commemoration falls on 24 August (new calendar); the Churches on the Old Calendar keep the same day of the Menaion on 6 September of the civil calendar.
