Gerhard (bishop of Passau)

Gerhard (fl946) was from 932 to 946 the 14th Bishop of Passau.[1][2][3][4] Gerhard was perhaps Abbot of Metten, and was probably elevated to Bishop of Passau by Arnulf, Duke of Bavaria. He was regarded as a pious, virtuous, and erudite bishop, whom the annals of Reichersberg called saints. Probably he undertook a trip to Rome in 937.
