Eoban was an English priest and bishop who accompanied Saint Boniface on his missionary journeys to Germany. Born in England around 699, he served as a chorbishop before his death in 754. He was martyred alongside Boniface and several companions at Dokkum, where pagan Frisians killed the group during their final mission. Recognized as a hieromartyr, he remains a significant figure in the history of the mission to the Germanic lands.
