About Herman
Lived 1000 – 1078. Herman was a catholic priest and catholic bishop.
Herman (Or Hereman; (Lotharingia).) He was named abbot of Malmesbury Abbey by King Edward in 1055 and planned to move his seat there as well, apparently in the hope of increasing the income from his poor see. The king revoked this position after three days, however, when the monks and Earl Harold objected. He later moved the see to the royal fortress at Salisbury. Approval for this translation and the unification of his sees was given at the council held at London between 1074 and 1075.
Herman died on 20 February 1078.
