Notes


St. Arnulf, Bishop of METZ was born on 13 August 0582. He died on 16 August 0640. He married Doda. St. Arnulf was the great-great-great-grandson of Clovis, Merovingian King of the Franks, whose grandfather was himself Merovee. His descendents can thus claim to be of Merovingian descent. Arnulf of Metz (August 13, 582 – August 16, 640) was a Frankish noble who had great influence in the Merovingian kingdoms as a bishop and was later canonized as a saint. He is also known by his anglicized name, Arnold. Arnulf of Metz is one of several saints who may be known as Saint Arnold[1]. He was born near Nancy. Arnulf gave distinguished service at the Austrasian court under Theudebert II (595-612). At the age of thirty he wanted to retire from public life. Instead, in 614, he was made bishop of Metz, even though he was still a layman at the time. In 613, Arnulf and Pippin of Landen, led the opposition of Frankish nobles to Queen Brunhilda of Austrasia. The revolt led to her overthrow, torture, and eventual execution, and the subsequent reunification of Frankish lands under Clotaire II, the dowager queen's nephew. From 623 (with Pippin of Landen, then the Mayor of the Palace), Arnulf was an adviser to Dagobert I. He retired in 627 to a mountain site in the Vosges, to implement his lifelong resolution to become a hermit. His friend Romaric had preceded him to the mountains and had already established the monastery of Remiremont there. Arnulf settled there, and remained there until his death twelve years later. Arnulf was canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church and is known as a patron saint of brewing. His feast day is either July 18 or August 16. In iconography, he is portrayed with a rake in his hand and is often confused in legend with Arnold of Soissons, who is another patron saint of brewing. Saint Arnold Brewing Company, Houston, Texas, named after the saint, lists itself as the state's oldest microbrewery
