Megingaud of Würzburg

Saint Megingaud of Würzburg (also called Megingoz, Mengold or Megingold) was the second bishop of Würzburg in the eighth century, a member of the circle of Saint Boniface.

He became a monk at Fritzlar in the year 738 and after a few years was made abbot. Around 754 (other dates give 753) he succeeded Saint Burchard as bishop of Würzburg. Together with Lullus, Boniface's successor at Mainz, he asked Willibald to write the life of Boniface and himself gave testimony for it; he was a witness at the founding of the abbey of Fulda. Three of his letters to Lullus survive, in which he shows concern for questions about the dissolution of marriage. It seems he retired in 768, and tradition places his death in 794.

He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 16 March (new style; 29 March in the old style).
