Saint Hunger was a 9th-century bishop who led the diocese of Utrecht from 856 until his death in 866. Born in Friesland around 800, he was a member of the Benedictine order before his appointment to the episcopacy. He succeeded the position after the wealthy nephew of his predecessor, Craft, declined the role due to fears of Viking incursions. Throughout his tenure, he navigated significant political and social challenges, including the displacement of his clergy by Northmen.
