Benedictine prior general and peacemaker. A monk at the Holy Cross Monastery at Fonte Avelana in Italy, Albertinus was elected prior general of the Benedictine Order, circa 1270. At that time, the Benedictines were in the process of merging with the Camaldolese, and Albertinus provided leadership for this sensitive and far-reaching procedure. He also intervened in a dispute between the people of Gubbio, Italy, and their bishop.
