Germanus Of Auxerre
Germanus of Auxerre (; ; ; 378 – c. 442–448 AD) was a western Roman clergyman who was bishop of Autissiodorum in Late Antique Gaul. He abandoned a career as a high-ranking government official to devote his formidable energy towards the promotion of the church and the protection of his "flock" in dangerous times, personally confronting, for instance, the barbarian king " Goar". In Britain he is best remembered for his journey to combat Pelagianism in or around 429 AD, and the records of this visit provide valuable information on the state of post-Roman British society. He also played an important part in the establishment and promotion of the Cult of Saint Alban. The saint was said to have revealed the story of his martyrdom to Germanus in a dream or holy vision, and Germanus ordered this to be written down for public display. Germanus is venerated as a saint in both the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches, which commemorate him on 31 July. The principal source for th ...

Germanus (patricius)
Germanus, called "patricius" (Greek: πατρίκιος; died c. 605), was a leading member of the Byzantine senate during the reign of Maurice. Identification and family Theophylact Simocatta () describes him as "an exceedingly distinguished man, who was a most illustrious member of the senate." However, there is no named relative of Germanus. His name has led to a possible identification with an identically named posthumous son () of Germanus (cousin of Justinian I) () and Matasuntha, or an unnamed son of the general Justinian, the second son of the senior Germanus. Many historians equate the ''patricius'' Germanus with the ''caesar'' Germanus (), a son-in-law of Tiberius II Constantine and Ino Anastasia that refused to be emperor. Historian Michael Whitby considers all three ''patricius'', ''caesar'' and ''postumus'' to be the same person. On the other hand, PLRE treats Germanus ''patricius'' and ''postumus'' as distinct from the ''caesar''. Under Maurice In Novembe ...

Germanus Of Capua
Germanus (died 541) was the bishop of Capua from 519 or shortly before until his death. He played a major role in bringing to an end the Acacian schism, the first major schism that divided the Christian church between east and west. After his death, he was venerated as a saint. His feast day is October 30 in the ''Roman Martyrology''. Life Early life and election as bishop Of Germanus's life before he was bishop nothing is known with certainty.

When on the death of Bishop Alexander the Capuans elected him their bishop, Germanus at first refused the honour before being persuaded to accept.

Germanus Of Winchester
Germanus (sometimes Germanus of Winchester, died circa 1013) was a medieval English abbot and Benedictine monk. He travelled to Rome in about 957 and became a monk at Fleury Abbey in France. Back in England by 964 he served as a monastic official before being named abbot of Winchcombe Abbey in about 970, a position he was removed from in 975. Germanus may have become abbot of Cholsey Abbey in 992. Early career Although Germanus's name is not Anglo-Saxon, Byrhtferth, a contemporary who wrote the '' Vita Oswaldi'', which contains much information on Germanus, states that he was a native of Winchester. Germanus accompanied Oscytel, the Archbishop of York, and Oswald of Worcester, on their trip to Rome in about 957, purportedly to collect Oscytel's pallium, the symbol of an archbishop's authority. This journey, however, has been challenged by the historian Donald A. Bullough, who argues that no previous archbishops of York had collected their palliums in person. He also points ...

Germanus (Caesar)
Germanus was a ''Caesar (title), Caesar'' of the Byzantine Empire. He married Charito, a daughter of Tiberius II Constantine and Ino Anastasia. According to Michael Whitby, Germanus was a patrikios, patrician and governor of the praetorian prefecture of Africa. He was chosen by the dying Tiberius II as a viable heir for his throne in 582. "In a dual ceremony on 5 August Germanus ... and Maurice (emperor), Maurice were elevated to the rank of Caesar and betrothed to Tiberius' two daughters, Charito and Constantina (empress), Constantina." Whitby regards the arrangement as indicating Tiberius' plans to have two co-rulers as successors. He suggests that the dying emperor might have even been trying to reintroduce the concept of a Western Roman Empire, Western and Eastern Roman Emperor, with Germanus and Maurice chosen for their respective connections to the western and eastern provinces. Germanus apparently rejected this proposition; John of Nikiû records that: "Before [Tiberius] di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Germanus (magister Militum Under Phocas)
Germanus (; died 604) was a Byzantine general who served under Emperor Phocas (r. 602–610) in the early stages of the Byzantine-Sassanid War of 602–628. Biography Germanus is possibly the same as the '' dux'' of Phoenice, who was chosen by the army as its leader during the mutiny at Monocarton in Easter 588, in place of Priscus. Although Germanus restored discipline and led the army to a victory against the Persians, he was tried and found guilty by a subsequent tribunal. Sentenced to death, he was quickly pardoned and received rewards from Emperor Maurice (r. 582–602). In 602, shortly before the outbreak of the revolt against Emperor Maurice that brought Phocas to power, Germanus was placed in command of the strategically important fortress of Dara in Mesopotamia. In early 603, he received Lilius, the envoy Phocas had sent to announce his accession to the Persian shah Khosrau II (r. 590–628).
