Fifth biography of Saint Lambert. Lambert originated from an aristocratic family of the Maastricht region. He was educated by bishop Theodardus of Maastricht and resided at the royal court for a while. After the murder of his mentor (shortly after 669), he was appointed bishop of Maastricht by Childeric II. With Childeric’s death (675), Lambert was banished and he lived in exile for seven years in the abbey of Stavelot. When Ebroin, the mayor of the palace of Neustria, was killed (682), Lambert could return to his seat under Pippin II. During his life, he played an important role as a missionary of Toxandria. Finally, he himself fell victim to murder in his villa in Liège (705/6) due to family disputes. It was in Liège that in 714 a church was dedicated to him and where his remains were sheltered. When the bishop’s seat was moved to Liège, it became closely attached to the cult of Saint Lambert. This work was much influenced by the Sermo of Lambert, written by Stephen of Liège (NaSo 2167). Guibert focuses solely on Lambert’s saintly status. He pulls the saint out of his worldly context and presents him as an exemplary religious figure, Lambert becomes a hero of monastic life (Scheibelreiter, 2003).
