First Frankish bishop of Trier, Germany, a friend of St. Gregory of Tours, and an illustrious churchman. He was raised by St. Nicetius of Trier, and he accompanied that prelate into exile when King Clotaire I retaliated for Nicetius' reprimands of the royal court. Magnericus returned to Trier, and in 566 was named bishop. He had a great devotion to St. Martin of Tours. He also gave shelter to Bishop Theodore of Marseilles in 585.
