Solus was an 8th-century English monk and missionary who lived in Germany. Originally from southern England, he joined the Monastery of Fulda in 744, where Saint Boniface ordained him as a priest. He eventually established a hermitage and a small oratory near a Roman quarry in Solnhofen, Swabia. Known for his holiness, he received a land grant from Charlemagne, which he subsequently donated to Fulda Abbey. He died around 794 and is remembered as a saint within the Catholic tradition.
