Rigobert was a 7th-century Benedictine monk who served as the abbot of the Abbey of Saint-Pierre in Orbais. He later became the Archbishop of Reims in 698, a position in which he famously performed the baptism of Charles Martel. Due to various political pressures, he was eventually forced to leave his see. He sought refuge in Aquitaine, where he spent his remaining years living a life of penance in Gernicourt.
