Vitalis of Savigny
Saint Vitalis of Savigny (ca. 1060 — 16 September, 1122) is the canonized founder of the monastery and Congregation of Savigny (1112).He was born as Vital de Mortain in Normandy at Tierceville near Bayeux about 1060-5. His parents were named Rainfred and Rohais. We know nothing of his early years; after ordination he became chaplain to Duke William the Conqueror's brother, Robert of Mortain (died 1100). Vitalis gained the respect and confidence of Robert, who bestowed upon him a canonry in the abbey church of Saint Evroul at Mortain, which he had founded in 1082.
