Aventinus of Tours was a medieval hermit who resided in France. Originally from Great Britain, he formed a close friendship with Thomas Becket, who eventually ordained him as a deacon. During his association with the archbishop, he traveled to the Synod of Tours in 1163. Following the death of Becket in 1170, Aventinus continued to live in the Touraine region, where he remained until his passing in 1180.
