Birth[edit]

"Anskar was born in 801. The date September 8th sometimes given as his birthday was the date of the translation of his body to the church of St. Peter, at Bremen ; cf. Leben des heiligen Ansgar, by Dreves, p. 250. The actual date of his birth is unknown.
Nothing is known for certain concerning the birthplace of Anskar, or the social position of his parents. Le Cointe (Annal Eccles. Francor. viii., p. 115) conjectures that his father was a man of some standing in the court of Charlemagne. In the time of Mabillon there was a street called after Anskar, in Foliet, a suburb of Corbey, and it has been suggested that this represents a tradition that he was born here. " (Robinson 1921)
"Ansgar ist geboren im Jahre 801. Tag, Monat und Geburtsort kennt man nicht. Über seine Herkunft weiß man fast nichts." (Wilhelm Schamoni, Rimberts Leben des heiligen Ansgar 1965)

Patrimony[edit]

Ansgar is not the patron of Denmark. It is Canute the Holy/Canute the IV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edlef (talk • contribs) 09:41, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ansgar and the slave trade[edit]

according with "The rise of the medieval world, 500-1300: a biographical dictionary" by professor Jana K. Schulman Ansgar[1] "was responsible for Christianizing the people of northern Europe and working to eliminate the Viking slave trade."[2]--Domics (talk) 09:02, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Saint or not?[edit]

I'm a bit unclear about Wikipedia policy regarding "saint". Blaise is "Saint Blaise" but Ansgar is not. They are roughly equal in importance. Can anyone clear this up for me?--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 21:44, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

more work needed[edit]

While outside a library, I cleaned up the article, intending only to transform a couple of in-line references into footnotes. However, it appears many of the passive constructions came from a near plagiarization from the New Schaaf-Herzog Encyclopedia improperly cited. Someone with access to all the references probably should look over the article as well as my changes.Jweaver28 (talk) 18:05, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
