Hermogius

Saint Hermogius was a Benedictine bishop of Tui in Galicia (Spain) and an uncle of the Holy Martyr Pelagius of Córdoba. He was born at Tui and in 915 founded the monastery of Labrugia in Galicia. Shortly afterwards he was taken prisoner by the Moors, who had recently conquered the area, and led to Córdoba. He was released when his nephew Pelagius took his place as hostage; Pelagius later suffered death as a martyr, and Hermogius withdrew to Ribas del Sil, where he reposed around 942.

He is commemorated on 26 June among the saints of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
