Bishop and missionary companion of St. Boniface, originally called Witta. An Anglo-Saxon by birth, he became a Benedictine monk, probably at the monastery of Pereum, Germany. There he was chosen to be one of the missionaries accompanying St. Boniface. Albinus became bishop of Buraburg in Hesse, Germany, in 741. He remained the head of that see until his death.
