Saint Egino was an 11th-century Benedictine abbot who served the Abbey of Sts. Ulric and Afra in Augsburg. Born in Germany, he became deeply involved in the political and religious conflicts of his time, notably supporting Pope Callistus II during his confrontation with Emperor Henry V. His leadership was marked by several periods of exile and return, driven by his commitment to ecclesiastical principles and his opposition to local corruption.
