Italian original Cite

ADALGAR, Saint, Archbishop of Bremen-Hamburg. - First a monk of the monastery of Corvey (Westphalia), he was chosen by St. Rimbert, archbishop of Bremen-Hamburg, as his coadjutor and succeeded him in 888. His twenty years of governance passed very troubled by internal disputes, on account of the archbishop of Cologne, who demanded the submission of his diocese, and by the invasions of the Hungarians and the consequent persecutions of ecclesiastics. He took as his coadjutor Höger, also a monk of Corvey. He died on 9 May 909, was buried in the church of St. Michael, and is honored on 29 April.
