Gaubald of Regensburg

Saint Gaubald of Regensburg was the first bishop of Regensburg after the founding of the diocese there. He reposed at the end of 761 or in 762.

He was consecrated bishop by Saint Boniface in 739 or 740. He was probably also abbot of the monastery of Saint Emmeram, and in 740 he moved the holy relics of Emmeram to the crypt of the monastery, which later became a Benedictine abbey. At his repose he was buried in the Ramwold crypt of this abbey.

He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 8 January (new style).
