assigned to a. d. 785. ' We are informed, by Thomas Dempster, that Charle- magne, having a special affection for the Scots, on account of their fidelity, zeal, and bravery, manifested towards him during his Spanish war, advanced them to positions of dignity, after the Saxous had been subdued. =' Hearing that the illustrious Emperor Charlemagne, after long continued efforts,'^ had effected the conquest of the pagan Saxons,'' and had desired, moreover, their conversion to the Christain faith ; Swibert, filled with missionary zeal, left his
own country, to preach among that people. It was already known, that the Emperor was a great protector of learned and religious men. '^ Especially did he favour the Scots, who came to him in great numbers, and who readily enlisted in his service. ^' So pleased was Charlemagne with his labours and virtues, that after the selection of Verden as a bishopric, he had Swibert con- secrated, and set over that See. 3° As generally supposed, the year for this promotion was 786. 3' If we are to believe Dempster,^' St. Suitbert wrote "

'*' In the year 1630, Francis William, Bishop of Verden, had these collected, and placed in a new tomb, which was situated, at the back of the high altar, with that Bishop's seal attached. Afterwards, to avoid the fury of the Swedes, who made an irruption into that part of the country, the Bishop Francis William brought those relics with him to Ratisbon, in 1659, and there he kept them in the episcopal palace, which belonged to him. The feast of St. Suitbert, of Verden, is mentioned, in the Martyrologies, at the 30th of April ; and, this is the date given for it, in tlie Officia Propria <= of Osnaburgh diocese, when under a semi-double rite « St. Suitbert was com- memorated, and even allusion is made to the finding and transfer of his relics.
