Saint Arbogast was a 7th-century missionary active within the Frankish Empire who served as an early Bishop of Strasbourg. Although his exact origins remain uncertain, historical traditions suggest he may have come from Scotland, Ireland, or Aquitania. He is traditionally credited with introducing Christianity to the Alsace region. During his tenure, he maintained a close relationship with the Merovingian King Dagobert, who appointed him to his episcopal seat.
