Ansovinus was a 9th-century Catholic bishop of Camerino who served as a priest and hermit. After being educated at the cathedral school in Pavia, he acted as a confessor for the Holy Roman Emperor Louis II. He famously declined the bishopric until he secured an exemption for his people from imperial military conscription. Consecrated by Pope Leo IV, he later participated in the Council of Rome in 861. He is remembered for his charitable works and for maintaining peace among local factions.
