Jaenbert

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saint Jaenbert (also Jænbert, Jaenberht, Jaenbeorht, Janibert, Janbriht, Jambert, Lambert, Lanbriht, or Genegberht) was monk, then abbot, of St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury, from which he ascended to become Archbishop of Canterbury (consecrated 765, died 792). His term saw a dispute between the See of Canterbury and King Offa of Mercia leading to the creation of the rival Archdiocese of Lichfield in 787 under Higbert. Jaenbert did not oppose the ratification of this by Pope Hadrian I. But, Pope Leo III reversed the decision, on the theory that the English episcopate's unanimity in support of the elevation of Lichfield was misrepresented to Hadrian, in the time of Jaenbert's successor. He has been canonised, his feast day is 12 August.
