Bérégise d'Andage was a 7th-century Catholic priest who played a significant role in the religious landscape of the Ardennes. Born around 670 near Emptinne, he received his education at the Abbey of Saint-Trond before serving at the court of Pepin of Herstal. As a trusted chaplain and administrator, he influenced the decisions of the mayor of the palace. His most lasting achievement was establishing a religious community in the forest, a task he undertook following a divine sign interpreted from a parchment found by Pepin's wife.
