Trithemius to have been even of royal birth, brother to
Athelstan; but as the English chronicles knew nothing of
it, it is probable that this is a piece of monkish exaggeration.
At any rate, he was married, and ran away from home and
wife on his wedding night, went to Rome to the monastery
on the Ccelian Mount, came to Einsiedeln in 949, was elected
abbot in 958, received S. Wolfgang when he retired to the
privacy of the monastery of S. Meinrad, and died in 996.
Nothing further of importance is known of him.

Godfrid, in French Godefroi, or Geoffroi, was born at
Moulicourt near Soissons. His father's name was Frodo,
that of his mother was Elizabeth. They were rich and noble,
and had two sons following arms as their profession. About
the year 1065, Godfrid, abbot of Mont-Saint-Quentin-les-
Peronne, uncle of Ida, Countess of Boulogne, mother of
Godfrey, king of Jerusalem, paid them a visit, and asked
whether they had not a son to give to God. "Alas !" said
they, " we have only two, who are engaged in arms, and we
are advanced in age and expect no more children." The
abbot advised them to vow to God that should they be given
another son, they would dedicate him to the religious life.
Nine months after Elizabeth became the mother of a son,
whom the abbot Godfrid held at the font, and to whom he
gave his own name. At the age of five this child was sent
to his monastery and loved by him as his own son. One
day the child was teasing a pet crane in the monastery
