  • For the martyr-saint of Tarragona, see Fructuosus. Saint Fructuosus of Braga was the Bishop of Dumio and Archbishop of Braga, a great founder of monasteries, who died April 16, 665. He was the son of a Visigothic dux in the region of Bierzo and he accompanied his father at a young age on certain official trips over his estates. Fructuosus was a disciple of Bishop Conantius of Palencia. St Fructuosus' relationship with the kings of his time was not always happy one. In 652, he wrote what was apparently a second letter to King Recceswinth asking for the release of political prisoners held from the reign of King Chintila, some of whom had languished in prison until the reign of King Erwig. In 656, he undertook to plan for a voyage to the Levant. However, according to the new laws enacted by King Chindasvinth, it was illegal to leave the kingdom without royal permission. One of the few disciples privy to his plans had given him up to authorities and Fructuosus was subsequently arrested and imprisoned. He was later present at the Eighth Council of Toledo in 653, in place of Bishop Riccimer of Dumio. It was at this Council that St Fructuosus raised the issue of political prisoners once again. After the death of Bishop Riccimer, Fructuosus succeeded him in the See of Dumio. At the subsequent Tenth Council of Toledo (656), the clergy of Dumio complained that Riccimer's will, which dispensed church rents to the poor and freed the episcopate's slaves, had impoverished the See. The Council agreed that, by not providing compensation, Bishop Riccimer had obviated his duty and the acts of his will were rendered invalid. They gave the job of correcting the problem to Fructuosus and commanded him to take moderation in the case of the slaves. At the same Council, Archbishop Potamius of Braga was remanded to a monastery for licentiousness and his archdiocese was given to St Fructuosus on December 1, 656. St Fructuosus was a true medieval saint in every way. He dressed so poorly as to be mistaken for a slave and he even received a beating from a peasant, from which he was only saved by a miracle (according to the monastic chroniclers). He founded his greatest monastery at Nono and attracted such a number of monks that the local dux complained to the king that he had lost too much of his military levy. His Vita is one of the chief sources for writing the history of his age. Saint Fructuosus' feast day is observed on April 16. His relics, which for a time were in the Cathedral of Braga, were later transferred to the Shrine of Santiago de Compostela in the year 1102.
  • Fructuosus († um 665) war Bischof von Braga und von Dumio und später Erzbischof von Galicien (Gallaecia).
  • Fructuós fou bisbe de Braga a la segona meitat del segle VII. Havia nascut a Toledo al voltant de l'any 600; va estudiar a Palència i es va retirar al Bierzo per fer vida solitària però se li van reunir diversos deixebles, construint llavors un monestir dedicat als màrtirs Just i Pastor, anomenat Compludus o Complutus, per al que va establir una regla molt rigorosa. Després es va retirar de nou a terres despoblades del Bierzo però de nou se li van unir diversos deixebles i van construir un altre monestir anomenat San Pedro de Montes, i més tard un altre anomenat San Pedro de Peñalba, seguint-lo després les construccions al Bierzo, i com que allà hi havia massa monestirs va passar a Galícia on edificà el Monestir Leonensis a la zona costanera i un altre en una illa. Després es va traslladar a Lusitània i la Bètica, a les capital de les quals va venerar les relíquies de Santa Eulàlia i de Sant Geronci, Sant Leandre i Sant Isidor. Des de Gades va intentar embarcar cap a Orient per visitar els llocs sants i els monestirs de la zona, però el rei li prohibí la sortida confiant-li el monestir de Dumium. Com abat del mateix va acudir per participar en el X Concili de Toledo però allà el metropolità de Braga, Potami, va presentar la seva renúncia (acusat d'actes indignes) i va ser elegit en el seu lloc Fructuòs. Va morir desenvolupant el càrrec, algun temps després.
  • Fructuoso de Braga, nació en el último decenio del s. VI, o primeros años del VII, en el seno de una familia goda de la nobleza, probablemente en la corte de Toledo o en El Bierzo, León. Fue un monje y obispo godo del siglo VII, venerado como santo. Murió en Braga el 16 de abril de 665. Se conoce de su vida por San Valerio, uno de sus discípulos, monje copista y escritor, de recio temperamento, que escribe su biografía inmediatamente después de su muerte. En esta Vita Sancti Fructuosi se destacan casi únicamente los aspectos de la vida monacal, olvidando su actuación como obispo que hubo de tener gran importancia y su intervención en la vida civil y religiosa del reino visigodo.
  • Saint Fructueux de Braga, né à Bierzo dans le royaume de Galice à la fin du VI siècle ou au début du VII siècle et mort à Braga le 16 avril 665 est un religieux galicien d'origine wisigothe. Après avoir été evêque de Dume, il est nommé archevêque de Braga lors du septième concile de Tolède en 646. On connaît sa vie par le témoignage de saint Valère du Bierzo, un de ses disciples, qui écrit Vita Sancti Fructuosi peu après sa disparition. L'Église catholique le fête le 16 avril.
