TAGINO. - Henry II, whose chaplain he was, imposed him as archbishop on the cathedral chapter of Magdeburg.

Consecrated on 2 February 1004, T. repaired a serious failing committed by Otto II, who had suppressed the see of Merseburg and had united it to that of Magdeburg; but T., having realized that the evangelization of the Wends was thereby seriously compromised, renounced Merseburg, which was thus re-established as a bishopric. The Chronicle of Dietmar of Merseburg speaks of T. in very laudatory terms. T. died on 9 June 1012 at Rothenburg.
