Fredegand

Saint Fredegand (Frégaud, Fredigand of Deurne) was an Irish missionary in the territory around Antwerp, in present-⁠day Belgium, in the eighth century. He was a disciple of Saint Foillan, became a missionary monk and then abbot of Kerkelodor Abbey near Antwerp. He reposed around 740 at Deurne.

In his Lives of the Saints, Alban Butler calls him Turninus, an Irish priest and monk who came to the Netherlands with Foillan and labored tirelessly to bring souls to the perfect practice of Christian virtue; the territory around Antwerp reaped the chief fruit of his mission. According to him, his relics were moved to the principality of Liège. He is commemorated on 17 July as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
