Beornstan the Archdeacon
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Beornstan the Archdeacon also known as Byrnstan was a Dark Ages Catholic saint from Kent in Anglo-Saxon England.[1]
Very little is known of the life of this saint and he is known to history mainly through the hagiography of the Secgan Manuscript[2] and also The Catalogus Sanctorum in Anglia Pausantium.[3] He was Kentish, an archdeacon and was buried at St Augustine's Abbey so he was probably associated with the early Abbey.
