Benedictine monk and tutor of Charlemagne. An official in the court of King Pepin the Short of the Franks, Ambrose entered the Benedictine Monastery of St. Vincent in Benevento, Italy. He became the friend and tutor of Emperor Charlemagne and was known for his theological treatises and his commentaries on the lives of the saints. In 778, Ambrose was elected the abbot of St. Vincent's, but was opposed by another. Summoned to Rome by Pope Adrian I in order to settle the matter, Ambrose died on the way.
