Not to be confused with Saint Alban, sometimes known as Albinus.
Saint Albinus of Angers (French: Saint-Aubin; c. 470 – March 1, 550), also known as Saint Albin (/ˈælbɪn/) in English, was a French abbot and bishop. Born to a noble Gallo-Roman family at Vannes, Brittany, St. Albinus was a monk and from 504 A.D. Abbot of Tintillac (which no longer stands; its location has not been satisfactorily identified). His reputation spread during the twenty-five years in which he served as abbot. In 529, St. Albinus was elected, against his wishes, Bishop of Angers.[1]
