Disibod was a 7th-century Irish monk and hermit who later served as a bishop. Born to a minor chieftain in Ireland, he was ordained at age thirty and succeeded a deceased bishop. Seeking a different path after finding little interest from his people, he traveled to the Frankish Empire around 640. Accompanied by several disciples, he established a religious presence in the Vosges and Ardennes regions before settling near the confluence of the Nahe and Glan rivers.
