Passion of St. Gangolf

Bag om Passion of St. Gangolf

Gangolf of Burgundy was an 8th century martyr by the Catholic Church. Gangolf was a Burgundian courtier whose historical existence can only be attested by a single document: a deed from the court of king Pepin the Short dated 762. It attests that he was a significant gentryman, whose family dominated the politics of the region. Upon entering adulthood, Gangolf decided to renounce his worldly wealth and become a religious hermit. In time he would be murdered by his wife's lover, who sought to remove him as a threat to their adulterous relationship.
